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 received personalised care from caring staff who had the knowledge and skills to carry out their roles and responsibilities. People described staff as friendly and supportive of their independence.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People felt safe with staff providing care and support. Safeguarding procedures were followed, and staff knew the signs to look for if they suspected abuse and how to report concerns.
People's needs were assessed before the service began to ensure they could be met by the service. Care plans were written and updated regularly. Risks were identified, assessed and appropriate mitigation put in place.
People told us the service was well-led and they spoke positively of the support they received. The culture of the service was open and transparent, and staff told us they felt supported and motivated by managers to provide the best care for the people they supported.
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.
