People’s experience of using this service:
People received personalised care which was responsive to their individual needs. Staff had a good understanding of the care and support people required and provided this with care and patience.
People’s care and support had been planned proactively and in partnership with them. People felt consulted and listened to about how their relatives care would be delivered.
Care plans were organised and had identified the care and support people required. We found they were informative about care people had received.
People were treated with dignity and respect and were fully involved in their care planning and delivery. People's right to privacy was upheld.
The service promoted communication for people and looked for ways for communication to be more effective.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Staff had been recruited safely, appropriately trained and supported. People told us their visits were well managed and staff who visited them knew and met their care needs.
