What the care home does well The service is good at assessing a person`s needs before they decide if they want to live there or not. This means that everyone is clear on whether or not the home is right for the individual. Each person living in the home has their own plan of how their needs will be provided. This means they will know if the service is not doing things the way they want and need them to be done. People living in the service tell us that they are able to make decisions each day about what they want to do. People tell us they are able to live the life they want to and participate in activities which they are interested in with their friends. People receive health and personal care, which is based on their individual needs, and they tell us they are treated with dignity and respect. The home has a complaints procedure which people tell us enables them to raise concerns and feel listened to. They also believe their concerns are acted upon and they have a voice within the home. Staff receive the training they need to protect people living in the home from abuse. The home is well maintained and people who live there say they have the space they need. The staff have the training and skills to support the people living in the service. The manager is qualified and competent and understands good practice in supporting people to live the lives they want to. What has improved since the last inspection? At the end of the last key inspection in 2006 there were no requirements and 4 recommendations. The home has changed provider since the last inspection however the manager has been constant throughout the provider changes and was keen to demonstrate that the 4 recommendations from the previous inspection had been followed up.
