D & H Community Support Ltd

People's choices, lifestyle, religion and culture as well as their personal and health care needs were all included in the care planning process. People were supported with accessing health care services when they needed, and the service worked in partnership with healthcare professionals. A training program meant people could be assured staff had the knowledge, skills and confidence to do their job.

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.

The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support by promoting choice and control, independence and inclusion. People's support focused on them having as many opportunities as possible to gain new skills and become more independent.

People's needs were met by good planning and coordination of care. Pre-admission assessments meant the service was confident it had the right staff available to support people prior to care starting. Regular reviews of care meant the service could respond to changes in people's needs promptly. A complaints procedure was in place and was given to people in a format that met their communication needs.

The provider, management team and staff had developed an open and honest culture, people and staff

found them friendly and supportive. The registered manager had good oversight of the service from the quality monitoring processes. Learning and skill development was actively encouraged, and staff felt confident in their role. The registered manager worked in partnership with other professionals to strive for good outcomes for people who used the service.
