During a routine inspection

During our inspection to Ridgewell Avenue we spoke with one of the three people who were staying at this accommodation while they received treatment for substance misuse.

We used a number of different methods to help us understand the experiences of people using the service and were able to observe staff supporting people.

Staff showed an understanding of people's needs and preferences and we saw that staff were polite when speaking with people. One person spoken to said 'I have been fully informed about my treatment plan and the counsellors are always approachable if I want to change something.'

We found that the staff at the home were well trained and supported to undertake their role and responsibilities.

We found that the provider had systems in place to assess and monitor the quality of the service provided.
