Assessing needs
The provider made sure people’s care and treatment was effective by assessing and reviewing their health, care, wellbeing and communication needs with them. People’s needs were continuously assessed, and care was adapted in response. Staff had access to care records and demonstrated they knew the people they were caring for. Staff received specific training for any assessed needs, one of which included how to support a person who hoards.

Consent to care and treatment
The provider told people about their rights around consent and respected their rights when delivering care and treatment. If people lacked capacity to make specific decisions capacity assessments and best interest decisions had not always been completed. For example, two people who lacked capacity to manage their medicines did not have a capacity assessment in place. Following our feedback these were completed. Staff had received training in the MCA and associated codes of practice and understood their responsibilities under this Act. One staff member said, “Everybody is capable in their own way. Where people are not able to make their own decision, you make adequate provision for them.”
