All Inspections

12 December 2011

During a routine inspection

People were very positive about the scheme, indicating that they were provided with the care that they need, and were given choices about the support they received. They had formed strong and supportive relationships with adult placement carers, and staff. As one person noted 'it's not bad at all, I get all the support I need,' another person said 'I'm free to do what I want.'

People are supported to access healthcare professionals when needed, and were also supported to undertake varied activities in their own homes and in the community. However some improvements are needed regarding the frequency of review of care plans and risk assessments, and recording of care provided. There is also a need for further training for some carers in a small number of relevant areas to ensure that they are confident about working in line with best practice.
