What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 10 November 2017. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Woodlands Court is registered to provide personal care. The service provides care and support to people living in their own flats in one building, so that they can live in their own home as independently as possible. At the time of the inspection there was only one person receiving the regulated activity of personal care.

This unannounced inspection took place on 9 October 2017. At the last inspection on 16 April 2015 the service was rated as 'good'. At this inspection we found overall the service remained 'good'.

A registered manager was in post at the time of the inspection. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are 'registered persons'. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.

Staff were aware of how to reduce risks to people to try and keep them safe. Staff were only recruited after the necessary pre-employment checks had been completed. There were enough staff working in the service to meet people's needs.

Staff received the training and support they required to carry out their roles effectively. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff support them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

People received the support they needed to ensure they had adequate food and drink that they enjoyed. People were referred to the relevant healthcare professionals whenever this was needed.

Staff supported people in a kind and caring manner which promoted their dignity and privacy. If needed people were supported to make decisions about their care.

Care plans provided staff with the current information they required to meet people's needs. People were supported to take part in activities that promoted their emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. People were encouraged to raise any concerns they had and felt that they would be dealt with appropriately.

There was an effective quality assurance system in place to identify any areas for improvement. Staff and people who used the service were encouraged to be involved in the running of the service and give their views on any improvements needed.
