Assessing needs
People's human rights were upheld by staff who supported them to be independent and have control over their own lives. Care plans promoted independence with people being encouraged to do as much as they could for themselves.
A relative told us, 'I have noticed they treat [relative] with respect and always ask [their] permission.'
Support focused on people's quality of life outcomes and met best practice. Support was provided in line with people's care plans including communication plans, sensory assessment and positive behaviour support plans.

Staff understood their roles and responsibilities under the Human Rights Act 1998, Equality Act 2010, Mental Health Act 1983 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This meant that people who lacked capacity or had fluctuating capacity had decisions made in line with current legislation.
Staff told us there no restrictions or blanket rules in place and that people were given choices over what they wanted to do for example choosing their food and activities.
