About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 17 December 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Ava House is a residential care home providing personal care to 4 people at the time of the inspection. The service can support up to 5 people. The building has been adapted so each person has their own individual flat within the home.
What inspectors found
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance the Care Quality Commission (CQC) follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: 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. The service had changed the home so each person had their own private flat to maximise independence and control. We saw staff supporting choice and control during our inspection.
Right Care: The care was person-centred and promoted individuals' human rights. People had different interests and activities. One person had been supported to gain independence with their health condition and learn daily living skills to help them with living as an ordinary person in their community. Many people said they liked the staff and how they were being supported. Staff were able to discuss people individually and knew how to support them well.
Right Culture: The ethos, values, culture and attitudes of the managers and the staff were focussed on supporting people to have inclusive, confident, and empowered lives. Managers and staff were complimented by relatives on their inclusion of people and relatives in their decision making and the support they provided the people living in Ava House. Family members have told us they are happy with the support their relative receives and they are happy with Ava House.
