The provider had processes in place to ensure patients had independence, choice and control of their treatment. Care plans supported people to express their wishes and engage in activities of their choice. Care was planned in a person-centred way with the involvement of people, families and advocates when appropriate. Feedback was obtained from people during meetings with staff and support needs were regularly reviewed. We reviewed 13 care plans, during our onsite activity, care plans were person centred and utilised ‘I’ statements.

Patients we spoke with, understood why they were in hospital and had been given information on their section and medication, both verbally and written. The service offered person-centred care. Patients were able to feedback to staff their views and wishes during 1-1 meetings with their named nurse, during therapy sessions, multi-agency ward rounds and discharge planning meetings. Patients attended community meetings and ward business meetings where they could feedback about care. Patients confirmed they were involved in their care plan and treatment.
