All Inspections

7 February 2014

During a routine inspection

We spoke with seven people who used the service, they said that they were happy with the quality of their care and treatment. One person commented, 'They have been great here, they couldn't have done more.' People told us they were given all the necessary information about their treatment options and were given plenty of time to make an informed decision about treatment. One person told us, 'Before my operation I was given all the information I needed, I was even told where I could find a film of the procedure on YouTube if I wanted.'

People's needs were assessed before any decision was made about treatment, and their wishes and expectations were fully considered. They were advised of any risks associated with their surgery, one person told us, 'I was told of the risks and was warned against doing any heavy lifting after the op.'

We saw that support was available to people before, during and after their treatment, which was carried out in clean and hygienic conditions. People's nutritional needs were assessed and people were offered refreshment after their treatment.

20 February 2013

During a routine inspection

During our inspection we spoke with four people and one relative of people who used the service. We also spoke with two staff and reviewed eight care plans.

We found that before people received any care or treatment they were asked for their consent and the provider acted in accordance with their wishes. One person we spoke with told us, 'I was told about all the things that could go wrong before I signed ' if I had a box to tick, it would say excellent.'

People's needs were assessed and care and treatment was planned and delivered in line with their individual care plan.

We saw that the provider worked in cooperation with other providers and decisions about care and treatment were made by the appropriate staff at the appropriate level.

People were made aware of the complaints system and this was provided in a format that met their needs.

A person we spoke with told us, 'I'm impressed with this service; they've done well with it.'
