Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People and their relatives told us they or their relative felt safe when receiving care and support. Staff were aware of measures to take to prevent and control the spread of infection. There was a procedure to record, monitor and investigate any accidents/incidents which may occur, none had occurred in the last twelve months.
People were supported by a small group of staff who knew people well, which allowed relationships to develop. The person and supporting relatives gave positive feedback about the staff and management team.
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. Staff were trained to support people with their individual needs.
People knew about the complaints process and knew the process to follow if they had concerns.
People were treated with kindness, respect and staff involved them in decisions about their care.
The service was well-led. The provider had ensured that safe recruitment, governance and quality assurance procedures had been fully established. The provider continued to develop the agency and planned changes well in advance.
