What CQC's inspectors reported
- People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
- We received mixed reviews about staffing levels to meet people's care and support needs.
- Despite the national staffing shortages, the management team had worked hard to ensure that staffing levels were adequate to meet people's needs.
- The provider and manager confirmed they had experienced difficulties with staffing, largely due to staff leaving, recruitment difficulties and last-minute staff sickness.
