They treated them as individuals and supported their preferences. People had choice in their care and were encouraged to maintain relationships with family and friends. Staff responded to people in a timely way. There were enough staff to meet people’s needs without delay.”

“Individual apartments had been adapted to enable greater independence for people where needed and people were supported to access the local community and had access to a range of activities in line with their individual likes and dislikes.”

“Quality assurance processes were operated effectively and the registered manager provided robust oversight of the service to support effective monitoring and improvement.”

“The provider demonstrated lessons learned from incidents and shared these through team meetings to ensure improvement.”

“Since our last inspection the service had improved their understanding and application of The Mental Capacity Act and staff were able to explain the principles of the Act.”

“We received mixed views from staff in relation to being supported and treated equally, however staff consistently told us they felt able to raise any concerns with the registered manager. The provider was implementing a range of actions following the feedback to support staff well-being and enable staff to speak up.”
