Care and treatment was planned and delivered in a way that was intended to ensure people's safety and welfare. There were arrangements and equipment in place to deal with medical emergencies. People who use the service were protected from the risk of abuse, because the provider had taken reasonable steps to identify the possibility of abuse and to report concerns to the appropriate authorities. We saw that there were effective systems in place to reduce the risk and spread of infection. We noted staff received appropriate professional development and were offered training relevant to the needs of the people they were treating. We also found that systems were in place for people and relatives to make a complaint about the service if necessary.
