Risks to people were managed well, risks were assessed and measures in place to reduce them. This helped to keep people safe from avoidable harm and abuse. There were enough staff to meet people's needs and staff recruitment was undertaken safely. People received their medicines when they needed them, and regular checks reduced risks associated with medicines. Infection control processes reduced the risks of cross contamination. There were systems to learn from incidents and these were used to drive improvement.
