Independence, choice and control
Care staff had established positive relationships with people they supported. A person said, “The carers are regular ones and are kind and caring.” Another person told us, “The agency is relatable and down to earth. The agency themselves have been excellent.”
Staff had established positive caring relationships with people they supported and their relatives. This helped them deliver person centred care and meet people’s individual care needs. Staff knew people's routines and preferences and respected their decisions.
People’s independence levels were recorded in their care plans so staff knew where they needed assistance and how to encourage them.
