During an inspection looking at part of the service
We spent an hour observing daily life within one of the lounges in the home and we spoke with three people who used the service. We spoke with staff and the manager about the care and well being of people who used the service. We also gathered evidence of people's experiences of the service by reviewing care records and quality assurance documentation.
People we spoke with during our visit were very satisfied with the care and activities within the service. They told us
'I do lots of things with my key worker such as baking and washing up. We do other activities too'.
'I cannot fault the place at all, the care is very good and the staff are lovely'.
We spoke with people about the food provided in the service, and they told us
'Staff come round and ask us what we want to eat each day. I am having the meat pie today, it's nice'.
'The food is nice, I have no complaints'.
People who used the service were satisfied with the care they received and said that they did not have to wait too long for staff to come when they needed assistance. Individuals told us
'Staff are friendly and give me help when I need it'.
