People’s experience of using this service
Relatives said people received care from caring staff who knew their relative well. They were confident staff had the skills to care for people. One relative told us, “I feel I don’t have to worry about my family member when I am not there”.
The provider was working through the actions highlighted in February 2022’s improvement plan. Audits and checks were being strengthened to ensure there was clear oversight of the service. This included staff recruitment, training and supervision.
People’s needs and any potential risks were assessed before they first used the service. Care plans developed with people which included their needs and preferences. Staff appropriately supported people with their medicines, nutrition and health needs, based on guidance in people’s care plans.
There was a positive culture at the service and staff and people’s representatives felt listened to. Also, that any issues or concerns they raised would be acted on. The registered manager and staff understood their roles and responsibilities and the aims of the service.
