People were kept safe from the risk of abuse and safeguarding concerns were reported appropriately. Care plans were personalised, identified risks for people and how these should be managed. Medicines were managed safely and we were assured there were effective infection control practices in place. Staffing levels were sufficient to meet people's needs and regular analysis of staffing ratios was carried out.
