Equity in experiences and outcomes

Staff spoke to people with respect and knew people's non-verbal cues well. We observed people being offered choice during a card game and their permission being sought from staff before talking to inspectors. One person told us, “I have the staff board I've drawn myself: I didn’t want their photographs up, I like my drawings. All their nicknames are on them too. That’s what I call them.”

The registered manager told us how proud they were of the dedication of the staff team at Impressions Care House. They provided recent examples of feedback from people, their relatives and care professionals who supported people. These demonstrated how staff supported people to manage their care independently and achieve their individual goals.

The provider had systems in place to ensure people, staff and professional feedback was received. The registered manager told us, “Our ethos is we can't be doing the same things that didn't work historically for each individual and expect different results.” Daily records reflected people were offered choice and were in control, and information was shared with people in an accessible format to enable equality in communication.
