“We were delighted to see how the service offered and fully supported a wide range of individualised activities based on people’s hobbies and interests which helped people to live full and meaningful lives.
“It was encouraging to see how staff clearly understood the values and culture of the service and demonstrated this in their care for people. The management were passionate in delivering high-quality person centred care, and this filtered through to every aspect of the home.
“The team should be extremely proud of the work they do. I congratulate the staff at Mayo House for achieving our highest rating.”
The knowledgeable and caring staff were able to provide excellent support to people with complex needs and those that needed intensive support. Staff used innovative ways to make sure people who were unable to communicate verbally felt empowered, listened to and involved in their care.
Staff had a system in place to work together and plan how best to support each individual and their needs and interests. Staff morale was high, people enjoyed their work and understood their roles and responsibilities.
People and their relatives said how transitions for people moving to the service were well organised and that they enjoyed being in their new home. Staff demonstrated creative and sensitive ways to help people tailor their rooms to their needs.
