What the care home does well The staff team makes sure that people with different abilities get the same chance to do things as everyone else. They make sure that if people have chosen to do something then they can do it safely. People have good support plans, which tell the staff what help each person needs and what they want to do. The staff get very good training, which helps them to support people in the right way. People and their relatives told us that staff support them very well. Relatives spoken with said they felt listened to and could make suggestions for changes or improvements to the home. They also said that the people living in the home were happy with their lifestyle at the home. They said people enjoy their independence and like to be able to please themselves in what activities they do. Staff have good knowledge of people`s personal support needs. Staff were thoughtful, discreet and respectful of people`s dignity when attending to any needs. It was clear that people who live at the home and staff get on well. The house has all the equipment that people need to make living at the home enjoyable. The home is clean and there are no unpleasant odours. The manager and her staff are approachable and understand the importance of promoting people`s privacy and choice. What the care home could do better: This is what was written in the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment about planned improvements for the next twelve months: "To recognise and acknowledge each person`s abilities, interests, preferences, ensuring effective support is provided to take the person through their transitional stages of their lives. "Always continue to ensure all staff are adequately and appropriately trained to meet current and future needs".
