We saw improvements in aspects of the service we assessed. Staff empowered people to make their own decisions about their care and support. Staff knew about people’s capacity to make decisions through verbal or non-verbal means and this was well documented. For people that the service assessed as lacking mental capacity for certain decisions, staff clearly recorded assessments and any best interest decisions. Staff demonstrated best practice around assessing mental capacity, supporting decision-making and best interest decision-making. We found the service was working within the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) and if needed, appropriate legal authorisations were requested to deprive a person of their liberty.
