What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 11 May 2022 · Last inspected 23 March 2022

Inspectors found that the provider adjusted well as people's needs changed, arranging specialist training for staff and dementia support that helped people stay in their own homes.

Leadership was described as strong, and staff were said to feel valued and proud to work for the service.

Strengths noted

  • Senior staff with dementia awareness qualifications supported people living with dementia, including access to day services, working with outside organisations.
  • People's communication needs were thoroughly assessed, and information was provided so they understood their rights and options.
