Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 3

The staff and the registered manager spoke positively about the people they supported and understood people's individual preferences and values.

People were respected as individuals. A person told us they could wake up when they wanted to and enjoyed a lie-in on days, they did not have to get up early. People were supported to pursue their interests and beliefs, including support to attend their church.

There were systems in place to seek and act on feedback from people. The provider had completed annual surveys and analysed the information they received. This helped them to monitor the service and plan for any improvements needed. People were involved in regular 1:1 meetings with their key workers, where they could give feedback and discuss things they would like to do. The provider had carried out spot checks, which helped ensure people received the support they needed and were being treated with dignity and respect.
