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

Staff had received training in safeguarding people. People were protected from the risks of abuse and harm and people said they trusted staff to keep them safe. People's care needs were risk assessed and care plans provided staff with the information they needed to manage the identified risk. Accidents and incidents were recorded and monitored. Medicines were managed safely. People told us they felt supported with their medicines.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Recruitment checks were robust to ensure staff were suitable to work with vulnerable adults. The provider used an electronic system to determine staffing levels. The provider operated an on call system for staff support during evenings, overnight and weekends.

Governance systems were in place to monitor the standard of care people received. Regular audits of people's care plans, daily communication records, staff files and schemes took place. Staff praised the registered manager and wider management team, they felt supported in their roles.

Person-centred care was promoted. The manager and staff demonstrated a commitment to people, and they displayed person-centred values. People's views and decisions about support were incorporated in their care plans. The service worked in partnership with other health and social care organisations and the community to achieve better outcomes for people using the service.
