What inspectors found
People told us they were happy living at the service and felt safe. Potential risks to people's health and welfare had been assessed and there was guidance in place for staff to mitigate the risks. Accidents and incidents had been recorded and analysed to identify any patterns and trends, action had been taken to reduce the risk of them happening again.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Staff were recruited safely, the required checks had been completed to keep people safe. There were enough staff to meet people's needs. Staff had received training appropriate to their role and their competency had been checked.
Medicines were managed safely. Staff monitored people's health and referred them to health professionals when their needs changed. People were supported to eat a balanced diet and given a choice of meals.
The management team completed regular checks and audits on all areas of the service. Action was taken when shortfalls were found. People and staff were asked their opinion of the service and suggestions made had been acted upon.
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.
People were protected from discrimination and abuse. Staff knew how to recognise the signs of abuse and the registered manager understood their responsibility to report any concerns to the local authority.
