Read the full summary
People received the support they needed to take their medicines.
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.
There were caring and considerate relationships between people using the service and the staff that supported them. The ease with which people communicated was evident in all interactions we observed during this inspection and by what people told us.
The service demonstrated how well they provided for person centred care that was tailored towards each person's specific needs. Improving people's independence and experience of day to day life was at the centre of the way the service worked with people and had resulted in notable improvements to how people lived their lives. People were supported to maintain positive mental health, having each previously experienced prolonged mental ill health.
The provider had systems in place to manage and resolve complaints. People knew how to make a complaint and told us about who they would speak with if they wanted to raise anything.
The provider maintained diligent oversight of the service, identified and responded to care and other day to day matters as these arose.
