What CQC's inspectors reported
- Instead, our findings focus on any areas where the service needs to improve or where we found exceptional practice.
- People can only be deprived of their liberty to receive care and treatment with appropriate legal authority.
- In care homes, this can be done through a procedure called the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), which is part of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA).
- One person told us, "The food here is amazing – the variety is excellent and the staff are so good." People felt able to share their views about the service and where confident staff would respond appropriately.
