During a routine inspection
We found that before people received any care or treatment they were asked for their consent and the provider acted in accordance with their wishes. Where people did not have the capacity to consent, the provider acted in accordance with legal requirements.
People experienced care, treatment and support that met their needs and protected their rights. Peoples' needs were assessed and care and treatment was planned and delivered in line with their individual care plan.
Appropriate checks were undertaken before staff began work and there were effective recruitment and selection processes in place.
The provider had an effective system to regularly assess and monitor the quality of service that people received and there was an effective complaints system available. Comments and complaints people made were responded to appropriately.
