The provider made sure people’s care and treatment was effective by assessing and reviewing their health, care, wellbeing and communication needs with them.

Before people started using the service, an initial assessment of their needs was conducted. This assessment included the person receiving care and centered on their strengths, preferences, and goals for their care. People were given information to help them make informed decisions about their support and care options.

From the information gained during the assessment, a member of the management team formulated a care plan for the staff to follow, ensuring that each person's unique needs were addressed. Ongoing reviews of people’s needs were conducted, and care plans were adjusted as necessary to accommodate any changes.

The provider planned and delivered people’s care and treatment with them, including what was important and mattered to them. They did this in line with good practice and standards.

Policies and procedures reflected relevant national guidance, and staff demonstrated an understanding of how this informed their practice.

Care plans were person-centred and regularly reviewed to ensure they reflected people’s current needs. Risk assessments were updated following any changes in condition or incidents. This helped to ensure care remained safe, effective and responsive.

Staff received training relevant to their roles, which supported them to provide care in line with current best practice. The management team monitored practice through regular audits and spot checks to ensure standards were maintained and areas for improvement were identified.

The provider worked well across teams and services to support people.

For example, the provider had requested an urgent review for a person as their needs had significantly increased due to a deterioration in their conditions.

Staff monitored people’s health and wellbeing and promptly reported any concerns to the management team. Referrals to relevant healthcare professionals were made when required to ensure people received timely and appropriate support.

The provider supported people to manage their health and wellbeing to maximise their independence, choice and control. Staff supported people to live healthier lives and where possible, reduce their future needs for care and support.

The management team had established effective working relationships with a range of healthcare professionals to help ensure people received coordinated and responsive care. Managers clearly recorded the involvement of external professionals, including details of advice provided and actions taken.

Feedback from people using the service, relatives and staff was actively sought through informal conversations and structured reviews. This information was used to inform service development and ensure care remained person-centred.

Where concerns or trends were identified, the registered manager took appropriate action and, where necessary, worked with external professionals to achieve better outcomes for people.

Where appropriate, relatives and relevant professionals were involved in decision-making processes to ensure a person-centred approach was maintained.

People were involved, where able, in decisions about their care, which helped them to retain choice and control over how their care and support was delivered. For example, they were supported to choose the time of staff visits to support them with their needs.
