People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People felt safe. One person said, “I feel safe and happy with everything they do for me.” Risks associated with care and the environment were recorded and monitored. There were enough staff to meet people's needs in a consistent and flexible way. Staff protected people from avoidable harm, were knowledgeable about safeguarding and felt able to raise concerns. Systems were in place to recruit staff safely. Staff administered people’s medicines when required and these were safely managed.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. Consent to care was sought and staff understood people's rights to make their own decisions. Staff received training in key areas, and plans were in place to source further training for staff. Staff received support to enable them to carry out their roles effectively. New staff received an induction and shadowed the management team as part of this. Systems were in place to ensure information to support people was shared and discussed appropriately with health professionals, where necessary.
People told us staff were kind and caring. They had built meaningful relationships with staff and felt they mattered and were listened to. Staff were aware of the importance of promoting people’s dignity and maintaining their privacy.
People's needs were assessed before they began to use the service and care plans were developed from this information. Care plans contained information for staff to support people according to their needs. A system was in place for responding to people's concerns and complaints. People felt confident to raise any concerns. No person required end of life care at the time of inspection.
People, their relatives and staff felt the service was well led. Quality assurance systems identified where the service needed to improve and ensured the service was safely managed.
