The Old Vicarage Residential Home

The provider had assessed the risks associated with people's care and support. Staff members were knowledgeable about these risks and knew what to do to minimise the potential for harm. People were protected from the risks of ill-treatment and abuse as staff had been trained to recognise potential signs of abuse and understood what to do if they suspected harm or abuse.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and the provider supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the application of the policies and systems supported good practice.

The provider supported staff in providing effective care to people through person-centred care planning, training and one-to-one supervision. People were referred to additional healthcare services if needed and staff were knowledgeable about any recommendations or treatments. People were supported by staff members who were aware of their individual protected characteristics like age, religion, gender and disability.

The provider, and management team, had good links with the local communities within which people lived. The provider had effective systems in place to identify improvements and drive good care.
