People’s experience of using this service and what we found
The provider was working within the principles and values of Right support, right care, right culture.
Right Support:
Petersfield is a small, ordinary home forming part of a local community. The property does not appear to be a care home and mirrors the other properties on the road. People were supported to access local facilities and were supported by staff to pursue their interests.
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.
People needs were assessed, risks were identified, and steps taken to keep them safe. People were safeguarded from abuse and staff were knowledgeable about how to support people safely.
Right Care:
People were supported by caring and kind staff. Staff knew people very well and knew their likes and dislikes. Observations and records showed that people experienced choice and control over their support and care.
People's independence was promoted and people were engaged in activities that were meaningful to them. Staff worked in partnership with other agencies to promote people's health and wellbeing.
Right Culture:
The registered manager promoted a positive culture and led by example. People were treated with dignity and respect and were involved in shaping their care.
Staff received the support they needed to carry out their role. Systems were in place, so the home remained safe and effective.
