Staff supported people to make decisions following best practice in decision-making. Staff communicated with people in ways that met their needs.
Right Care: Potential risks to people's safety were not always identified and acted on at the time to ensure people were kept safe. Not all staff used a face mask effectively to prevent potential germs being passed from person to person. Cleaning fluids were not being safety stored.
People received kind and compassionate care. One person's relative told us their family member, "Is settled and likes the staff who are the kindest people ever."
People could communicate with staff and understand information given to them because staff supported them consistently and were knowledgeable about their individual needs.
Right Culture: The service's quality assurance, monitoring and oversight arrangements were not robust and required improvement.
The service enabled people and those important to them to work with staff to develop the service. Staff valued and acted upon people's views. People and those important to them, including advocates, were involved in planning their care.
