Read the rest of CQC's summary

People were supported by staff who understood the risks they faced. Risks were safely managed and monitored. Staff had access to people's risk assessments and care plans and were confident they knew how to reduce these risks. People received care and support from staff who knew them well and treated them with respect, compassion and dignity.

There were sufficient numbers of staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. The registered manager kept deployment under review as people's needs changed.

People were supported to have choice and control of their lives and, where best interests decisions had been made, staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. Action was taken by the registered manager during our inspection to ensure staff fully understood when to involve people's legal representatives.

We were assured by infection prevention and control (IPC) measures in the home. Practices that protected people from cross infection of communicable illness were well embedded amongst the staff team.

There were ongoing maintenance works, and furniture replacement, scheduled to maintain and improve the environment.

Relatives spoke highly of their communication with the registered manager and staff team.

People were cared for by staff who cared about and supported their colleagues. Staff felt part of a strong team with a shared purpose. Staff felt supported by the senior team.

People lived in a home where oversight such as audits, monitoring and observation were used to improve the quality and safety of people's care.
