All Inspections

During a routine inspection

We spoke with two people who used the service. One person answered 'yes' when we asked them if they were enjoying their stay and 'yes' when we asked if the staff treated them well. They told us that they were going bowling on the day of our visit. Their support worker collected them during our visit and they planned a visit to the pub to have lunch when they finished bowling.

Another person told us that they had fun when they used the service, that the staff were 'good' and that the staff asked them how they liked to be supported. They told us that they had been to the supermarket the evening before our visit and chose the food that they were going to eat during their stay.

During our visit we saw that the staff interacted with the people who used the service in a friendly, respectful and professional manner.
