“Relatives of people that used the service told us they could speak to the staff at any time. Staff were honest and open with them about the welfare of the people living in the service.”
“There were clear visions and values for the service. There was a shared philosophy of person-centred care, which enhanced the service to people. The registered manager and the senior staff encouraged an honest and open approach. This reassured staff to feed back any ideas or comments they had about how the service could be improved. The service worked closely with other organisations to improve the lives of the people using the service.”
“We observed laughter and fun within the service, with staff and people joking together.”
