Right Culture: The providers quality assurance and governance systems in place to assess, monitor, and improve the quality and safety of the services provided had failed to identify the issues we found during this inspection.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Right Support: Medicines were not always managed safely. Documentation relating to covert medicines was not in place. Risk assessments did not always include detailed information about people's needs.

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 Care: Staffing levels were sufficient to meet people's needs. Systems were in place to safeguard people from the risk of abuse and people told us they felt safe with the staff who supported them. Incidents and accidents were reported, investigated and measures taken to mitigate future occurrences. However, we did identify 5 incidents which were not reported to CQC.

People and their relatives knew how to complain and felt comfortable raising concerns with the provider. People and their relatives told us they were happy with the support they received. Staff felt supported by the management team and were provided with regular supervisions.
