What inspectors found
People told us they felt safe and they were supported by staff who helped them quickly if they needed this. One person commented, "I love it, it's my home. I feel safe here yes I do." A further person said, "I can't imagine living anywhere else." Checks were completed to help ensure prospective staff were suitable to work with people who may be vulnerable and staff had completed training to support their skills and knowledge. Risk assessments were carried out to help minimise the risk of avoidable harm and staff knew the help and support people needed.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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 were cared for in a safe, clean and homely environment by staff who were caring and knew people's need and wishes. Medicines were managed safely, and care records contained person centred information to guide staff on the care and support people had agreed to.
People were consulted and asked their views on the service provided. Checks and audits were carried out to identify what had gone well, or if improvements were required. Action was taken to improve the service if this was required. People told us they were happy at the home and were confident any comments or complaints they made would be listened to. One person commented, "I haven't got any complaints." Staff told us they felt supported by the manager and nominated individual and they were able to approach them if they needed support and guidance.
