People were complementary of the service they received. They told us the food was good and they were supported by attentive and compassionate staff. Visitors told us the care people received was very good and the staff were kind, caring and compassionate. We observed warm and positive engagement between people and staff. Staff were recruited safely and there were enough staff to meet people's needs.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
People told us they were involved in the planning and reviewing of their care. Care was personalised and care plans provided detailed information and guidance for staff. Staff provided support in line with people's preferences. People were treated with dignity and respect.
Since the last inspection significant improvements had been made to achieve the required level of compliance. Systems and process were in place to monitor the quality of the service being delivered. A new registered manager had been appointed and we received positive feedback about them from people and visitors to the service. The provider and registered manager worked with stakeholders to drive and sustain service improvements.
