During a routine inspection
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
There were systems in place to safeguard people from the risk of abuse. Risks to people’s safety were assessed and managed. The person using the service was being supported by consistent staff who had been safely recruited and knew them well. Feedback was positive from the person and their family regarding the support they received.
The registered manager undertook assessments before agreeing to support people to ensure that their individual needs and preferences could be met. People's support plans were developed in partnership with the person and/or their family. Staff received an induction and were trained in areas that were relevant to people they were supporting.
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.
Staff understood and respected each person's individual characteristics, likes, dislikes and preferences. People were supported to express their views and be involved in decisions about their care. Family members told us staff respected their relatives' privacy and dignity.
People, their relatives and staff were given opportunities to be involved in how the service was run by being asked for feedback on all aspects of the service.
