Effective – this means we looked for evidence that people’s care, treatment and support achieved good outcomes and promoted a good quality of life, based on best available evidence.

At our last assessment we rated this key question good. At this assessment the rating has remained good. This meant people’s outcomes were consistently good, and people’s feedback confirmed this.

This service scored 75 (out of 100) for this area. Find out what we look at when we assess this area and How we calculate these scores.

People’s needs were assessed and developed into a support plan; people also had a behavioural support plan if required, completed with support from the service’s internal positive behaviour support team. The positive behaviour support plans were detailed and person centred and enabled people to receive appropriate care and support that was responsive to their needs. The service made sure people’s care and treatment was effective by assessing and reviewing their health, care, wellbeing and communication needs with them. People, relatives, and when appropriate, advocates and professionals were involved in reviewing assessments. People had communication care plans, and we saw people were supported to provide feedback. The communication methods used encouraged people to express views, and these were reviewed and acted upon as necessary.
