Monitoring and improving outcomes

Score: 4

The provider monitored all people’s care and treatment to continuously improve it. They ensured that outcomes were positive and consistent, and that they fully met both clinical expectations and the expectations of people themselves.

People were consistently supported to achieve exceptionally positive outcomes that reflected their individual aspirations, preferences and potential. Care was regularly reviewed with people and those important to them, ensuring support remained focused on what mattered most to everyone. The service demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting independence, personal growth and inclusion through personalised goal setting. People had detailed 'People We Support Goals' plans which identified short, medium and long-term aspirations, ranging from developing daily living skills and increasing independence to accessing new social opportunities and achieving meaningful life goals.

Records demonstrated numerous examples of people making significant progress, building confidence and developing new skills. For example, one person had a long-standing aspiration to visit a hairdresser but experienced significant anxiety and agitation when faced with unfamiliar environments. Staff worked alongside them over an extended period, breaking the experience down into small, achievable steps and progressing at a pace determined by the person. Initial support focused on short visits to the salon, gradually building familiarity and trust. Through patience, consistency and positive reinforcement, the person's anxiety reduced significantly, and they were working towards achieving their goal of attending the hairdressing appointment for a more time-consuming treatment.
 

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