About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 12 February 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Arcare for Forte is a 'care home'. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided and both were looked at during this inspection. Arcare for Forte is a care home without nursing, which can accommodate up to nine people. At the time of our inspection eight people were using the service and these included older people, people with learning disabilities or those on the autistic spectrum.

What inspectors found

People were kept safe by staff who knew how to report concerns, manage risks and identify concerns, for people they were supporting. Staff knew how to raise safeguarding concerns. There were sufficient numbers of staff to meet people's needs. Medicines were managed in a safe way.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives 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 had received training to ensure they had the skills and knowledge to support people safely. Staff received regular supervision to support them in their role. People's dietary needs were met, and they had access to healthcare services where needed.

People received personalised care and support to meet their needs and wishes. People using the service, relatives and staff were given the opportunity to provide feedback on the service. Audits took place to ensure the quality of the service was maintained.

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. Based on our review of safe and well-led, the service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture. The service applied the principles and values of Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. These ensure that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes that include control, choice and independence.

People received personalised care and support to meet their needs and wishes. People using the service, relatives and staff were given the opportunity to provide feedback on the service. Audits took place to ensure the quality of the service was maintained.
