About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 29 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

At the time of the inspection 15 people lived at the service. The accommodation is provided in one adapted building with bedrooms across three floors.
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 that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance 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
There were enough staff employed to ensure people's needs were being met daily and most training by staff had been completed. However, we could not find evidence staff had been trained in some areas. People received medicines safely and were given their medicines as prescribed and supported to have regular reviews.
People were not always supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives. Some people living in the home lacked capacity to make decisions. We found not all capacity assessments or best interest decisions had been completed to ensure people were supported in the least restrictive way. possible.
Right Care
Risks assessments were not always accurate or being followed by staff to ensure safe practice. Care records were not always accurate or in place. People were supported to eat and drink enough and had a varied diet offered to them. Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it.
Right Culture
The quality monitoring and auditing systems in place were not always effective. We found issues on inspection which had not been identified in the audits and actions plans were not robust. The registered manager was working with relatives and staff to improve communication and to gather their feedback. The management team and staff shared a commitment to continuously learn and worked in partnership with other professionals.
