People were at the centre of their care and treatment choices, and they decided, in partnership with the provider, how to respond to any relevant changes in their needs. Relatives told us they were fully involved in care planning that covered all aspects of the support people needed including their physical, emotional, and social needs. Their care options were fully discussed with them, as part of the assessment process, and it was explained what they could and could not expect from the service. They were informed of any required adjustments to their care plans, and their consent was sought. A relative told us they were, “Very impressed with the staff, and the management. They couldn’t do more.”

The provider supplied appropriate, accurate and up-to-date information in formats that were tailored to their individual needs. People were enabled, by the processes to know how to access their health and care records, and decide which personal information could be shared with other people. This included their family, care staff, and healthcare professionals. People received information in a timely way that met best practice standards, legal requirements and was tailored to individual needs. People were provided with clear, and transparent information that followed consumer rights best practice, including contracts and charges.

The provider made it easy for people to share feedback and ideas, or raise complaints about their care, treatment, and support. People were involved by staff in decisions about their care and told what had changed as a result. The provider’s processes monitored if people received person centred care by regular phone contact with them, spot and welfare check visits, and staff supervision sessions. This information was regularly reviewed, and changes made to the care provided to make a positive impact on people, and their lives.

People were enabled by the provider to access the care, support and treatment they needed when they needed it. People were protected by processes and systems regarding their care and treatment. They were supported by the prover who promoted equality, removed barriers, protected their rights, and made them feel their experiences of discrimination and inequality were listened to and acted on to improve their care.

People were actively listened to by staff to gather information about those who were most likely to encounter inequality in experience or outcomes and tailored their care, support, and treatment in response to this. This was confirmed by relatives. People were protected by the provider’s systems and processes regarding their care, treatment, and support. This was done by promoting equality, removing barriers, protecting their rights, and making them feel their experiences of discrimination, and inequality were listened to and acted upon to improve their and other people’s care.

People were supported to plan for important life changes, so they could have enough time to make informed decisions about their future, including at the end of their life. People’s care records contained current information about the support they needed to live as independently as possible, recording their wishes in relation to how their social, cultural, and spiritual needs were to be met. Their decisions, and what mattered to them were identified, and delivered through personalised care plans that were shared with others who needed to be informed. This was also the basis for meeting people’s future care and support needs, identifying any changes to them, planning how to meet those changes, and to promote their independence.
