What inspectors found
People told us they received kind, compassionate care from staff who knew them well and treated them with respect. People's views were captured through meetings and questionnaires with feedback on actions taken shared via a notice board.
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 supported this practice. Staff received appropriate training and support to carry out their roles effectively and provide safe care. People's health and well being was managed through access to a range of professionals. People were provided with a choice of meal options and their nutritional and hydration needs were being met.
Care plans explained people's needs and wishes and provided staff with information about people's life histories. People were supported to maintain contact with family and friends and provided with a range of activities, which they had been involved in choosing. People knew how to complain but told us they had not needed to, as were happy with all aspects of the care provided.
