About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 6 August 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

No 19 Respite House, known as No 19, is a respite service for adults with learning disabilities and/or autistic people. It is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide accommodation and personal care for up to three people at any one time. At the time of the inspection there were three people staying at the service.

What inspectors found

We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. Right support, right care, right culture is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements about services providing support to people with a learning disability and/or autistic people.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Right support: Model of care and setting maximises people's choice, control and Independence. People were able to choose how they spent their time and were supported by staff to take part in activities and pursue their interests in their local area/community. People were supported and encouraged to be independent and staff had a good awareness of people's needs and preferences. However, we found more work was needed to embed the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA).

Right care: Care is person-centred and promotes people's dignity, privacy and human rights. Staff knew people well and understood how to communicate effectively with people. Staff spoke to people in a dignified and respectful way and it was clear from our observations that people and staff had developed good relationships. However, people's care and support plans were not always reflective of their range of needs.

Right culture: The ethos, values and attitudes of managers and staff helped to ensure people using services were enabled to lead confident, inclusive and empowered lives. The registered manager and staff spoke passionately about promoting people's wellbeing, safety, and security. Staff understood their role in making sure that people came first, and their care and support was tailored to their individual needs and preferences.
