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. At the time of our inspection 18, mainly older people, were being supported with personal care.
What inspectors found
People and relatives felt the service was safe. The service was impacted by low staffing levels and the management team had been supporting with care calls to ensure people got the care and support they needed. Risks to people were managed effectively and people were safeguarded from the risk abuse. People's medicines were managed safely and people were protected from the risk of infection. Staff were recruited safely.

People told us they were supported to eat and drink. The service worked with other agencies to provide effective care for people.
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 service put people and their care first. People told us they received person-centred care. The service was recruiting more staff to reduce staffing pressures. Staff received training and refresher training to ensure the best support for people. The service involved people and their relatives in their care. The service learned from incidents to improve outcomes for people.
