What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 29 July 2025 (assessment visit 9 January 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Date of assessment: 26 June to 2 July 2025. Woodways is a residential care home, providing support to younger adults, some of whom may be living with a learning disability and/or autism. The service can support up to 6 people, and at the time of our assessment 6 people were living at the service. An assessment has been undertaken of a specialist service that is used by autistic people or people with a learning disability. We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.

At our previous assessment we were concerned about governance at the service. At this assessment, the provider has made improvements. The service was previously rated requires improvement and is now rated good in safe, outstanding in effective, caring, responsive and well led, and outstanding overall. People were supported by a dedicated staff team, who knew people’s needs extremely well. People were kept safe, in an environment which was inclusive for their individualised needs. Medicines were safely managed. The service had a warm, welcoming and homely feel. Care plans were robust, and person centred, to enable staff to follow up to date guidance about how to support people, in line with their needs, wishes and preferences. The service was extremely well led, staff were happy and supported in their roles, and without exception, people, relatives and staff told us the service was well led.
