People received support with their healthcare and nutritional needs. They 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 was a programme of staff training and regular updates were in place for staff to improve their skills.
We observed staff interactions with people who lived at Across The Bay and found them to be caring and they treated people with respect and kindness. This was confirmed through discussion with people.
Activities were varied, staff had worked hard with people to provide meaningful social activities to provide stimulation and exercise. One person told us, "We have singalongs, ball games all sorts go here in the afternoons." There was a complaints process which people and relatives were aware of.
The management team had auditing systems to maintain ongoing oversight of the service and make improvements where necessary. Quality assurance processes ensured people were able to give their views of the service. We found the management team acted upon suggestions to improve the lives of people.
