Person-centred Care
The provider made sure people were at the centre of their care and treatment choices and they decided, in partnership with people, how to respond to any relevant changes in people’s needs. Staff were attentive and responsive to people's individual needs and adapted their communication styles to suit each person's preferred way of communicating. People told us staff knew them well and understood what was important to them. One person said, “The staff are very kind to me and know my likes and dislikes very much.”
People's bedrooms reflected their personalities, with personal possessions, photographs, and meaningful items displayed throughout. Staff supported people to maintain interests and take part in activities important to them. One relative told us, “[Relative] is taken out quite a lot and loves being in the garden and staff will always bring [relative] out there.” Care plans were detailed and person-centred, containing information about people's preferences, life histories, interests, and the support they wanted from staff.
