Read the rest of CQC's summary
Staff received training in relation to the safe administration of medicines and their competencies were checked to ensure safe practice. Infection control measures were robustly followed, and staff had access to sufficient PPE.
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.
The service was well managed. People, relatives, and staff were very positive about the leadership of the service and praised the management team. There were systems in place to monitor the quality of the service; actions were taken, and improvements were made when required. Staff felt well supported and said the registered manager was open and approachable. The service worked in partnership with outside agencies.
