People's experience of this service

People told us if they were unwell, staff would act on it and contact health professionals as needed. People told us they felt safe and told us the service carried out an assessment to discuss risks before they started to receive care. People complimented their regular staff and told us they knew how to meet their needs. However people gave a varied response in relation to staffing levels and the effectiveness of staff. People told us staff wore appropriate PPE including gloves, aprons, and masks (when needed). People told us they were able to speak with the manager or senior staff and found them approachable.
