17th October 2013 - During a routine inspection
We used a number of different methods to help us understand the experiences of people using the service, because people had complex needs which meant they were not able to tell us their experiences. We spoke with a relative of one person and observed the care being provided to three of the four people staying at the service. Feedback included, "the staff are lovely, especially the manager", "I have peace of mind" and "it’s all good here". We observed people being supported to promote their independence and access their local community. One person liked to go swimming and another person enjoyed baking. People were given information about their rights. Care records were personalised ensuring that the delivery and planning of care reflected people's individual needs. The provider worked closely with other health and social care professionals to make sure that people received safe, effective and consistent support when moving between services. There were sufficient numbers of staff with the right skills and knowledge supporting people. This was being monitored to make sure people remained safe. People had the opportunity to give their views about their experiences of care and treatment. The provider monitored the service provided through a number of quality audits.
1st January 1970 - During a themed inspection looking at Learning Disability Services
We talked with two patients at the service but they were unable to give us their views of the service. We spent time observing all six patients over the two days. Five of the six patients had a diagnosis of autism and they were unable to give us their views about the care they received. We spoke with four relatives who said they felt fully involved in the care of patients and were able to visit the service when they wished. One relative told us, “ …… is well looked after, after all the things she has been through she is finally in a place where the staff know her well and know how to meet her needs.” Another relative said, “I am extremely happy with the treatment of my sister.” All relatives confirmed that staffing levels were adequate and that staff understood patients well.
