People's experience of using this service: People who used the service and relatives were positive about the service provided. One person told us, "I get all the help I need, [the staff] are caring and kind." One person's relative said, "This service is brilliant, I haven't had any reason to complain. [The staff] know [my relative] so well and they get on so well with everyone."

Staff supported people to keep safe and acted when necessary to prevent any harm or abuse. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives, risks to people's health and wellbeing were managed in a way that did not restrict them unnecessarily. People were supported by staff who were skilled, highly motivated and caring.

People were supported to have their medicines as they prescribed. If needed, people were helped to eat and drink enough to maintain a healthy diet. Staff protected people from the risk of infection by using the necessary protection, such as gloves and aprons.

Care plans were person centred and people were consulted over their care needs and actively encouraged to make their own decisions. Staff were responsive in identifying and reviewing changes to support good physical and mental health.
