What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 17 August 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
People were safe and protected from avoidable harm because management and care workers knew how to identify and report any concerns relating to the risk of abuse. Risks to people's health, safety and well-being were assessed and measures developed to remove or reduce the risks. People were supported by care workers who had been safely recruited.

People's medicines were managed safely. Care workers received appropriate training and had their competency assessed to help ensure they were sufficiently skilled and knowledgeable to safely administer medicines. Care workers had received training in infection control practices and personal protective equipment was provided for them. The management team took appropriate action following any incidents and learning was shared with the team.
Before care delivery started assessments were completed to help make sure people's needs could be met. Management and care workers knew people well. They were able to promptly identify when people's needs changed, and sought professional advice appropriately. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and care workers supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
People and their relatives praised the kind and caring nature of care workers. People and their relatives were confident to raise any concerns with the management team. Everyone we spoke with during this inspection was satisfied with the care and support they received.
The management team was committed to providing a high standard of care to the people they supported as well as the care workers and understood their responsibilities under the Duty of Candour. People, their relatives and care workers spoke highly of the management team and told us they were always available and supportive.
