At the time of our inspection there were 60 people using the service.
What inspectors found
People told us they felt safe. One person said, "It's the next best thing to home, I do what I want when I want. The care staff are like my friends, they are very kind and caring." Staff understood the procedures they needed to follow to safeguard people from the risk of abuse. Concerns were reported and appropriately investigated and analysed for learning.

Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures were in place to minimise the impact of COVID-19. Staff were knowledge about the procedures and followed guidance in relation to the wearing of PPE. Risks were identified, and measures put in place to minimise harm. Medicines were managed safely.
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.
Systems were in place to monitor and improve the quality of the service provided. The registered manager was aware of their responsibilities and they were embedding a culture of openness and transparency. We have made a recommendation about duty of candour.
