We reached this conclusion after we spoke with people at the service, management, and the staff team. We also observed interactions between staff and the people visiting the service, looked at a number of care plans and quality assurance records. People were encouraged to improve and maintain their health, wellbeing and quality of life. This was because staff worked closely with local health, medical services, providing prompt support when needed, meaningful and interesting days were promoted, and staff were very knowledgeable in how to support peoples' assessed needs. A visiting health professional told us they were very pleased with the quality of care and the way in which people were supported.

Support plans detailed a good level of information, highlighting life histories, interests and future wishes and assessed needs. We saw that there had been an overall improvement with the quality of recording and details within support plans. They were better monitored and regularly audited. All care staff took responsibility in supporting the people in the service by providing a varied mix of interests and activities, which also involved maintaining and encouraging local community. We saw that this approach promoted good outcomes for people. People told us they were usually kept busy and could join in activities if they wanted. Comments included: "It makes my week coming here - I really look forward to it". "Splendid". "Love coming here". "We never stick for anything - there's always something to do".

Staff that were spoken with were able to show a good understanding about what would be considered abusive and what actions they would take if they had any concerns about practice if people were not treated right or were vulnerable. Mandatory induction training and a staff learning and development programme was seen to support all staff with their learning, registration with SSSC and ongoing personal development. Supervision and appraisal are also used to promote safe staff practice in their duties. Staff told us that training was very good and helpful to maintain their skills and knowledge. There was a positive and proactive culture and approach among the staff team, who all came across and keen and motivated. We saw that the service carried out regular health and safety checks including equipment.

    APPENDIX 13.1 SITE GAZETTEER Site No: 1 Name: Laxo Water Type of Site: Pile of stones NMRS Number: N/A Grid Reference: HU 44381 64635 Description: A small pile of stones was located at the southern end of Laxo Water. These were evidently arranged in an artificial manner. However the location of these above the turf would suggest that they are of no antiquity and probably function as a modern fishermen’s marker cairn (AOC Archaeology Group 22/06/05) Laxo Water from N Site No: 2 Name: Laxo Water Type of Site: Structure NMRS Number: N/A Grid Reference: HU 44373 65605 Appendix 13.1 - 1 Description: At the north-west edge of Laxo Water is an incomplete curved structure of some antiquity as the stone walls are partially buried beneath peat and turf. This structure is somewhat deteriorated but appears to have been roughly semi-circular in its original form. It is approximately 6m in diameter and abuts the edge of the loch along which is a bank of stones approximately 0.7m high. An additional small bank of stones protrudes into the water on the northern edge of this structure and may act as a breakwater (AOC Archaeology Group 22/06/05) Laxo Water Site No: 3 Name: Laxo Water Type of Site: Structure NMRS Number: N/A Grid Reference: HU 4429 6548 Description: On a small protrusion of land on the western bank of Laxo Water exists a constructed bank or wall of stones. This bank has evidently fallen into partial disrepair however it currently extends across a grassy peninsular for approximately 25m.
