Regular meetings took place which provided people, relatives and staff with opportunities to raise concerns, share ideas and be involved in decisions relating to the home. The provider had robust quality assurance systems in place, to check the quality of service provided to people. Throughout our assessment they were open to feedback, taking swift action to drive improvement across the service. They told us, “We will continue to strive to improve our service and resident experience, and to consider any feedback an opportunity to succeed.”

People received care and support that was personalised, coordinated and worked well for them. People and staff told us they felt listened to and were confident in the management of the service. One person told us, “I feel very happy I am here. I settled quickly because staff are marvellous. I don’t have to tell them anything, they know what I need…It’s comforting to be supported like that. I do not miss anything.” Another relative spoke about the improvements they had noted in their family member since moving to the service. One reason for this was the quality and presentation of the food, which was pureed to minimise the risk of the person choking. They said, “My relative is eating again, the food is absolutely amazing, I keep taking photos because they dish it up in lovely shapes…I try whatever they give [person]; it’s so tasty and full of flavour.”
