During a routine inspection
As we went around the home we saw that people had been able to decorate their rooms with their own pictures and personal items. We saw that people's rooms had been furnished and decorated as they wanted and equipment and facilities were provided to meet people's needs. We found that the premises and grounds were being maintained and were accessible for all those using the home.
Staff working there had received appropriate training to support people's individual needs and understand their different conditions. We found that the provider had effective recruitment procedures in place and had carried out relevant checks on the staff they employed. This helped to make sure that staff were suitable for working with the people living there.
The provider had effective systems in place for obtaining people's views and for monitoring the quality of the services provided. People living there told us that they spent their time as they wished and had diverse interests and hobbies that staff supported them with.
