People were supported by kind, caring, competent and compassionate staff. People’s needs and choices had been assessed. Care provided was personalised and considered people’s preferences and wishes. People were supported to eat and drink enough to maintain a balanced diet. People’s dietary needs were met in accordance with their needs and preferences. Staff understood their roles and responsibilities. The provider had effective systems in place for monitoring the quality and safety of the service provided to people.
