Individual records showed examples of how people are encouraged to make choices. Limitations on choice or human rights are made in the person’s best interest and are consistent with the home’s duty of care or responsibilities under the law. These are made only after a multidisciplinary assessment is undertaken and the implications of Human Rights legislation are considered. Risks and the action taken to minimise these are clearly documented for each person using the service. During the inspection staff showed they were clear about their responsibilities for minimising risks while acknowledging the importance of providing people with choices.
