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.

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

Care records were detailed and reflected people’s support needs. Staff understood people’s needs, routines, risks, anxieties and behavioural presentations. Communication records people were detailed. This meant people's care was tailored to their individual needs, promoting better outcomes and wellbeing.

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 legislation and current evidence-based good practice and standards.
People's nutrition and hydrations needs were met. Food and fluid intake was recorded and monitored. People were given choices each day of what they would like to eat for their meals. Staff showed detailed knowledge of people’s needs and used their understanding of risks, anxieties and expression of distress/agitation to provide preventative and responsive support.
Staff followed evidence-based guidance and worked alongside health professionals to ensure care reflected current best practice. For example, following input from speech and language therapists (SALT), staff were advised about the most appropriate support for one person during mealtimes. A manager told us, “They have just gone through SALT about best practice on how they need to sit up and no television when eating. It goes in team meetings, day centre meeting, house meeting, communication book, secure mobile messaging service, shadowing, filtered down.” We saw this guidance reflected in daily records, which demonstrated staff were following the recommendations. This meant the service had effective systems to communicate and embed professional guidance across the staff team, helping to ensure people received consistent and evidence-based support.

The provider worked well across teams and services to support people. They made sure people only needed to tell their story once by sharing their assessment of needs when people moved between different services.
Managers described systems for sharing good practice and developing staff knowledge. A manager said, "If someone is struggling with something, like shaving, someone else will come in and show them how they do it. If staff do something really well then someone else can do it or show. It is about sharing knowledge." This showed staff shared learning and supported each other to improve people's care.
Staff worked well with families, colleagues and professionals. One staff member said, “We work very closely with people’s family. If we thought anything was wrong, we communicate with them.” Staff supported professional appointments and contacted families about activities or for advice. Managers used team meetings, communication books, messaging, supervision and shared learning to promote consistency across services. Professionals described proactive partnership working, family involvement and prompt responses. This meant people received coordinated care from teams who communicated well and worked together effectively.

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.
People had autonomy and choice about where they spent their time. People took part in meaningful activities, including art, music, dance, swimming and community experience. Staff had arranged for people to be involved with a charity scheme where they would walk 100 miles in October. Staff tracked people’s step count and sent the numbers to the registered manager to track and monitor the progress as people worked towards the goal. This was beneficial for their mental and physical health.
Staff understood their individual nutritional requirements and followed relevant guidance to ensure these needs were met. People's preferences regarding food and drink were taken into account, and support was provided in a way that promoted their wellbeing.
People had annual health checks and access to opticians and dentists. Staff worked well with relevant healthcare professionals and reported a good relationship with the GP. Staff ensured reasonable adjustments were considered when accessing healthcare services to maximise the person's involvement. For example, when having blood pressure checks with the GP.
Hospital communication passports contained useful information for admissions and emergencies. Staff supported people to attend professional appointments. This meant any underlying health issues could be identified and addressed early.

The provider routinely monitored people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. They ensured that outcomes were positive and consistent, and that they met both clinical expectations and the expectations of people themselves.
Managers monitored outcomes through audits, incident reviews, quality assurance, antecedent behaviour and consequence (ABC) monitoring, care plan reviews, feedback and daily records. The provider had plans to amend how daily notes were being recorded to be written as a diary from the perspective of people. They described improvements in behaviour support, quality of life, communication, independence and confidence. Managers said people had, “Grown and thrived” and that support continued to change in response to individual outcomes.
Staff knew people well and understood how they communicated their wishes, preferences, and wellbeing. They were able to recognise signs that people may be unhappy, distressed, or have unmet needs, which helped ensure support was provided in a timely and responsive way that met people's individual needs.

The provider told people about their rights around consent and respected these when delivering person-centred care and treatment.

Staff understood the importance of involving people in decisions about their care and support and used approaches tailored to their individual communication needs to maximise their participation and choice. The provider was aware of recent changes with the UK Supreme Court 2026 judgment on what constitutes a deprivation of liberty and expressed a strong desire to learn more about how the changes may affect people.
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) provides a legal framework for making particular decisions on behalf of people who may lack the mental capacity to do so for themselves. The MCA requires that, as far as possible, people make their own decisions and are helped to do so when needed. When they lack mental capacity to take particular decisions, any made on their behalf must be in their best interests and as least restrictive as possible. People's capacity was assessed in line with the MCA and, where people did not have capacity, decisions were made in their best interest. We found the provider and staff worked within the principles of the MCA, appropriate legal authorisations were in place when needed to deprive a person of their liberty, and conditions relating to those authorisations were being met. This meant people's rights were consistently respected and upheld, ensuring they received care and treatment in line with their individual needs, preferences, and legal protections.
