What inspectors found

Right Support People were encouraged to take part in a range of activities at the service and in the wider community. A staff member said, "The residents are lovely, and I like being on the go with them. They get lots of opportunities to go out and they have a good quality of life here." Staff involved relatives in people's care and support and kept them up to date on their progress and achievements. A relative said, "Every week pictures are sent to me, so I know what they have been doing." People had increased their independence since being at the service. 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 premises were spacious, safe, and comfortable with a large secure garden at the back.
