This is the first assessment for this newly registered service. This key question has been rated good. This meant people’s outcomes were consistently good, and people’s feedback confirmed this.

The provider made sure people’s care and treatment was effective by assessing and reviewing their health, care, wellbeing and communication needs with them.

The information gathered during initial assessments was used to develop personalised care plans, which included details about people’s wishes and preferences. People and relatives were involved in care planning and plans were reviewed on a regular basis to ensure they were up to date.

The provider planned and delivered people’s care and treatment with them, including what was important and mattered to them. They did this in line with legislation and current evidence-based good practice and standards.

People were actively involved in planning their care and support, which was tailored to reflect their individual choices and preferences. Staff received regular training and supervision to ensure the care was delivered safely. The registered manager carried out reviews of people’s needs which ensured care and support remained person-centred and consistent with each individual’s preferences.

The provider worked well across teams and services to support people. They made sure people only needed to tell their story once by sharing their assessment of needs when people moved between different services.

The registered manager told us about the process for when they would contact external professionals to ensure care was planned according to people’s preferences. Staff told us they felt well supported and had regular opportunities to share their views. One staff member told us, “SBV Healthcare promotes transparency, reflective practice and learning from feedback and incidents.”

The provider supported people to manage their health and wellbeing to maximise their independence, choice and control. Staff supported people to live healthier lives and where possible, reduce their future needs for care and support. Care plans included information about people’s health needs and the support required to promote their wellbeing.

The provider routinely monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. They ensured that outcomes were positive and consistent, and that they met both clinical expectations and the expectations of people themselves. Care plans had been reviewed to ensure they continued to reflect people’s needs. People were asked to give feedback about how their care was provided to make sure it met their expectations. A staff member told us, “People are supported to make choices about their daily routines, care preferences and activities using communication methods tailored to their individual styles.”

The provider told people about their rights around consent and respected these when delivering person-centred care and treatment. Staff understood their responsibilities under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA). Staff told us how they communicated with people and gained their consent. One staff member said, “People are involved through regular care reviews, accessible communication and involvement of families and advocates where appropriate.”
