Read the rest of CQC's summary
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 usually supported this practice.
Staff received the training and formal support they needed for their role. The service worked in partnership with other professionals and supported people to access appropriate healthcare. People had good dining experiences, received a choice of meals and enjoyed the food. The environment was comfortably furnished and suitable to meet people's needs.
The provider had improved their governance arrangements since the last inspection and were continuing to improve these further. They had systems that were reliable and drove improvement. However, they had systems that were not fully effective which meant risks were not always identified. Records showed people's care was usually planned, although we saw examples where care plans were not accurate.
The provider and management team were well respected, visible and approachable. Everyone understood the benefits of working alongside external stakeholders. Other professionals provided consistently positive feedback about the service. The service involved people and genuinely welcomed feedback. Staff were proud to work at John Sturrock.
