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.
Right culture: The values and attitudes of staff and managers in the home enabled people to be as independent as possible and feel empowered in their daily lives. People were supported to achieve positive outcomes. The management team learned lessons when things went wrong in the home to ensure people's dignity, privacy and human rights were respected at all times. People were supported to integrate into the local community
and be as independent as possible. They pursued their interests and were supported to avoid social isolation. For example, we saw people go out to day centres and take part in activities. Systems were in place to manage complaints. People's communication needs were met. Feedback was sought from people to help make continuous improvements to the home.
