What inspectors found
Right Support People received safe care and they were supported by staff who knew how to protect them from the risk of harm and abuse. Staff were recruited safely and there were sufficient staff to meet people's needs.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Staff supported people to take their prescribed medicines and to access healthcare services. Staff were aware of people's individual risks and followed plans to minimise these while maintaining people's independence.
People could choose how they wanted to spend their time, whether they wanted to be with other people or in their own space.
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.
Right Care There was a relaxed atmosphere in the home where staff were respectful and supportive in their interactions with people. Where people required support with personal care this was provided in a discreet way and promoted people's dignity and privacy.
Right Culture People were enabled to influence the care and support they received. Staff demonstrated a positive person- centred attitude, promoted people's rights and independence and supported people to have equal access to services.
Staff told us they felt supported in their role and enjoyed working at the service. We saw they had formed
meaningful relationships with people they supported.
