We received positive feedback from people who lived at the service and their relatives, as well as staff and health and social care professionals. People told us they felt safe, were comfortable around staff and were able to raise any concerns. When possible, people were involved in decisions which affected them and were supported to make choices about their care. People had access to activities and the local community to promote and support their independence, health and wellbeing.
