About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 24 December 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Crossfields Lodge is a residential care home providing personal care. The service provides support to people with learning disabilities and autistic people. Although registered for up to two people, the provider had decided for the foreseeable future, to just accommodate the current person using the service.
What inspectors found
Right Support: Staff were supporting the person to take part in activities and pursue their interests in their local area. Staff were working with the person, and those who had a significant involvement in the person's life to support them to have a meaningful life and to achieve their aspirations and goals.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The person was being supported to have maximum choice and control of their life and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Staff knew how the person preferred to take their medicines to achieve the best possible health outcome. Staff supported the person to access specialist health and social care support in the community.
Staff supported the person to make decisions following best practice in decision-making. Staff were continually learning and developing the person's communication systems to ensure it was tailored to the person's needs.
Right Care: Potential risks to the person's safety were not always identified and acted on, this had put the person at risk. Improvements were needed to monitor staff's practice and ensure all staff felt confident in managing risks.
The person's care, treatment and support plans reflected their range of needs and this promoted their wellbeing and enjoyment of life.
Right Culture: The service's quality assurance, monitoring and oversight arrangements were not robust and required improvement
The person led an inclusive and empowered life because of the ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of the management and staff. Where staff did not demonstrate the provider's values, this had been addressed by the management.
The person and those important to them, were involved in planning their care. Staff kept the person's care plan under review, updating as they got to know the person better, including what made them happy. The person's quality of life was enhanced by the service's culture of improvement and inclusivity.
