As part of our inspection, where possible, we:

speak with residents and the people who visit them to find out their

experience of the service,

talk with staff and management to find out how they plan, deliver and monitor

the care and support services that are provided to people who live in the

centre,

observe practice and daily life to see if it reflects what people tell us,

review documents to see if appropriate records are kept and that they reflect

practice and what people tell us.

In order to summarise our inspection findings and to describe how well a service is

doing, we group and report on the regulations under two dimensions of:

1. Capacity and capability of the service:

This section describes the leadership and management of the centre and how

effective it is in ensuring that a good quality and safe service is being provided. It

and oversight of the service.

2. Quality and safety of the service:

This section describes the care and support people receive and if it was of a good

quality and ensured people were safe. It includes information about the care and

supports available for people and the environment in which they live.
