About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 31 August 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Gallaudet Home is a residential care home providing personal care without nursing for 7 people who were Deaf and had other conditions such as learning disabilities, autism and mental health. The service can support up to 8 people.
What inspectors found
Right Support People were supported to spend their time where they liked within the home. Others were regularly accessing the educational facility on site and the local community. However, some people were not always achieving their full potential or quality of life because staff lacked specialist training. Systems and staff knowledge were not always in place to support people who could become distressed.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People were supported to review their care and support with key staff each month. Staff changes had delayed these meetings for some people and as a result, their preferences had not always been supported.
People were not always supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff did not always support them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service did not support this practice.
Right Care People were supported by staff who knew them well. However, their care plans did not always reflect this detailed knowledge to support consistent care.
People's privacy and dignity was respected. Each person was valued as an individual and their differences and choices celebrated.
Right Culture The manager was working towards embedding a Deaf culture into the service by ensuring all staff were able to use British Sign Language. Some individual examples were talked through at the inspection. However, the wider Deaf community and resources had not always been considered.
People were not always living empowered lives because staff did not always have the skills or understanding
to embed the 'Right support, right care, right culture' guidance. The management promoted a caring culture in the service which some compared to a family feel.
