Read the rest of CQC's summary
People told us they felt safe and thought there were usually enough staff on duty to meet their needs. We found staff were recruited safely and assessed to be competent to care for people. People received support to have their medicines as prescribed.
Staff supported people to make choices and be independent. People understood who to raise any concerns to and were confident these would be addressed.
People and their families had the opportunity to meet the manager and be involved in a thorough assessment of their health and wellbeing needs prior to admission to the home. Referrals to specialist professionals for advice and support were made in response to people's needs.
People were supported by kind, caring staff who respected their privacy and dignity. People were involved in planning and reviewing their care and their feedback was listened to. People were able to talk to the registered manager when they wished to and thought the home to be well led.
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.
