Most of the people told us they felt safe. Comments included, “I do feel safe here” and “It is safe.”
Staff knew how to recognise and report abuse, they told us they would not hesitate to report any concerns to the registered manager. Staff received safeguarding training.
Risks to people were assessed and managed. Some of the risk assessments required additional information relating to the control measures in place. There were systems in place to share lessons learned.
Where people lacked capacity to make specific decisions, relevant others such as family members were consulted.
People received sufficient nutrition and hydration; they were offered choices of what they wanted to eat. We received some mixed feedback regarding the food.
