Care provided in the service was personalised. Staff promoted person centred care to make sure everyone received a level of care to meet their needs and respected their wishes and independence.

People were not able to verbally communicate with us in relation to the care and support they received, however we observed staff to be kind and respectful to people and people looked relaxed in the company of staff.

Staff knew people well and were able to communicate with them effectively to enable them to make choices.
