People told us they felt safe. Risks to them were identified and managed. Where required people were safely supported with their medicines needs. Infection control measures were in place to prevent cross infection. Staff wore appropriate PPE and the home was clean throughout. Visiting was safe and followed current guidance.
The support required by people with health and nutritional needs was identified and provided. People told us the chef was happy to cook other food if they did not like something on the menu.
People received care and support which was personalised and responsive to their needs. People's choices regarding their care and how they were supported were respected, and there were enough staff to support this. Care plans were kept up to date to reflect any changes in people's needs and wishes. People and family members knew how to complain, and they were confident about complaining if they needed to. Complaints were used to improve the service.
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.
The management of the home promoted a person-centred service. There was an open and transparent culture and good partnership working with others. The quality and safety of the service was monitored through regular checks.
