Debbie Westhead – Deputy Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care said:

“It was clear to us when we visited this service that the provider has reviewed the care they provided and committed to improve it further for the benefit of the people they support. We saw how the management team continually sought people’s views on their care, and engaged with technology based solutions to overcome some health care barriers.

“We found that the service delivered care in line with people’s needs and desires. Staff got to know the people they cared for and tailored the care and their approach to suit. The service planned and delivered various activities in the service and in the community based on people’s histories and their life goals. These meant a lot to both the people using the service, their families and the staff. We saw social media posts telling the story of the events and activities and how the people helped organise them.

“This showed us that the service really valued people receiving person-centred care and worked hard to enrich people’s lives, whilst promoting their independence and respecting their dignity.

“Staffs efforts were recognised and celebrated, and were clearly respected by the provider. The leadership team had a clear demonstrable vision to enable staff in delivering high quality, meaningful, person-centred care people deserve. A fantastic improvement and well deserved Outstanding rating, well done.”
