Inspection findings in brief
- Audits of care records did not always identify areas for improvement or gaps.
- A new online care record system was being introduced to give managers improved processes to review and audit records.
- 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 did not always support this practice.
- We found mental capacity assessments and best interest decision making was not robustly documented.
