What inspectors found
People's relatives felt they were safe and well supported by the service. Individual risks were assessed, and staff were aware of these. There had been no incidents, but a system was set up to review events and accidents should they occur. Medicines were managed appropriately, and staff knew how to report any concerns about a person's safety or welfare. Relatives told us staff were reliable.

Staff received relevant training for their role and relatives of people using the service felt they had the right knowledge and skills. Staff felt very supported by the management team. Staff respected people's preferences and choices. People were asked to give their consent before receiving support and the principles of the Mental Capacity Act were followed.
People's relatives told us staff were kind and caring and respectful. Staff enjoyed working for the service and told us the culture was to ensure care was person centred. Care plans included information needed to support people safely and in accordance with their wishes and preferences. These were reviewed regularly.
People, their relatives and staff were asked for their views about the service and felt listened to. There were robust monitoring processes in place to help ensure a good standard of service. Quality assurance systems were set up to identify any areas that needed further development.
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.
