Read the rest of CQC's summary
Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
What inspectors found
People were protected from the risk of harm. Care documents contained risk assessments which were clear and included specific guidance for staff on how to prevent people experiencing harm. There were enough, suitable staff to provide personalised, safe care to people. Medicines were managed safely. Staff observed infection control practices when delivering care and support. Staff reflected on practice to make improvements to care and support.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People's needs and choices were assessed effectively by skilled staff. People were supported to have a healthy diet and were protected from the risk of malnutrition and dehydration. Staff work effectively with professionals from health and social care to promote people's health and wellbeing.
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 registered manager and staff team were dedicated to delivering person-centred, compassionate care which promoted people's dignity and independence. The registered manager had implemented clear auditing and governance systems which ensured staff responsibilities were clear and identified actions were completed. Staff and the people they supported were involved in how the service was run and their feedback was encouraged and valued. Staff demonstrated a culture of learning and continuous improvement and worked collaboratively with other professionals to meet people's needs.
