Read the rest of CQC's summary
Care and support were planned and delivered in a way that was intended to ensure people's safety and welfare. People were cared for safely by staff who had been recruited and employed after appropriate checks had been completed. Staff had received appropriate training and their knowledge was checked. Medicines was administered by staff who had received training to do so. There were systems in place to minimise the risk of infection and lessons had been learnt from accidents and incidents.
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 registered manager had put systems in place to monitor and provide good care and these were reviewed on a regular basis.
