Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: Care and treatment were planned and delivered in a way which was intended to ensure people's safety and welfare. There were enough staff to meet people's needs. People were cared for safely by staff who had been recruited and employed after appropriate checks had been completed. There were systems in place to minimise the risk of infection and to learn lessons from accidents and incidents. Medicine was dispensed by staff who had received training to do so and assessed as competent.
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.
Right Care: Care was person-centred and promoted people's dignity, privacy and human rights. The registered manager enabled staff to develop the skills they needed to provide good quality care and support. People were supported to access health professionals to maintain their health and well-being.
Right Culture: The ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of leaders and care staff ensure people using services led confident, inclusive and empowered lives.
Care was focused on supporting people to remain independent. Staff supported people to engage in their local community. Care was personalised to people's needs and staff reviewed and adapted support as people's needs or wishes changed. The registered manager had systems in place to monitor the service and outcomes for people.
