They’re respectful.” Staff were able to give examples of how they supported people with their privacy and dignity. This included, “Not talking about others to people” and “Closing the curtains, covering the person with a towel whist supporting with personal care and knocking before you enter someone’s apartment."
Treating people as individuals
The provider treated people as individuals and made sure people’s care, support and treatment met people’s needs and preferences. They took account of people’s strengths, abilities, aspirations, culture and unique backgrounds and protected characteristics. People’s care plans were individual and contained important information about the person such as any religious or cultural needs. Staff knew people well and people felt supported by staff who were respectful. One person told us, “They respect me and I’m happy with the care.”
Independence, choice and control
People were supported by staff who promoted people’s independence, so people knew their rights and had choice and control over their own care, treatment and wellbeing. People’s care plans confirmed their wishes around how to provide them with their care and support. Details of how to support the person with their visit was documented so staff knew what support to provide the person with. Staff knew people well including their individual needs and preferences. They gave examples of how they promoted people’s choice, such as what they might like to eat and support with washing and dressing. Staff encouraged people to remain independent and they promoted this through giving people choice such as to wash their face and hands themselves. People felt staff gave them choice. One person told us, “Staff give me choice with my meals.”

We will review the registered manager’s response with any actions they have taken following this feedback.
