About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 5 December 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Housing and Care 21- Hillside Court is an extra care housing scheme for older people, comprising of individual flats in one large building. The scheme had some communal areas, and an onsite restaurant. People who lived at the service had a separate care and tenancy agreement. At the time of our inspection, the service supported 25 people with personal care. Other people required support with social, domestic visits or welfare calls only.

What inspectors found

People felt safe and protected from the risk of harm. People told us they received their medicines as prescribed. Staff completed medication training and their competency was checked. Staff described signs they would look for to identify abuse and records showed appropriate action was taken to safeguard people. There were sufficient numbers of staff who were safely recruited. They received a programme of support through training, supervision and appraisal.

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. People told us staff responded to their needs effectively and their preferences were known and respected by staff.

People were treated with dignity and respect. Staff were knowledgeable in the actions to take to maintain the privacy and dignity of people and described the actions they took to uphold this especially during personal care.

People's needs were assessed, and people received care which met their needs. People were satisfied with the quality of care they received. People knew how to complain, and any concerns raised were followed up to ensure a suitable outcome was reached for the person using the service. People were confident they could communicate how they felt to staff, who were approachable and listened to what they had to say.

Quality monitoring systems were in place, and the provider completed various audits to assist them in monitoring and helping them to identify how to improve people's experiences.
