This report does not provide detailed information on areas where we found practice continues to meet a good standard. Instead, our findings focus on any areas where the service needs to improve or where we found exceptional practice.

A staff member told us, "It's independent living, it's respecting their decision and remain independent and make sure we listen to what they want." Another staff member explained, "You ask, you let them make a choice but assisting them at the same time."

Medicines were managed safely, and there were effective systems in place to monitor the quality and safety of the service. Staff understood their safeguarding responsibilities and knew how to recognise and report concerns.

The provider had effective governance and quality assurance systems in place to monitor the service and drive continuous improvement. Feedback from people using the service was sought and acted upon to improve outcomes and experiences.
