People received medicines from trained and competent staff. The service was clean, and staff practised good infection control to help protect people from the risk of infectious diseases.
People were supported by enough staff who were trained to meet their needs. Care plans in place gave detailed guidance for staff to follow to ensure they supported people safely.
People were treated with dignity and respect. We observed kind interactions throughout the inspection. Staff spoke to people respectfully.
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, their relatives and staff told us they we able to make suggestions and raise concerns if needed and their views were listened to. Quality assurance processes were effective in identifying areas for improvement, shortfalls were addressed at the time or shortly following audits.
Staff and the management team worked with health and social care professionals to improve people's care and well-being.
