About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 29 March 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Brambledown Road is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care to support up to 7 adults with a learning disability and/or autism. At the time of our inspection 7 people were using the service.
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.
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. Staff supported people to manage and mitigate any risks to their safety. Staff only used physical restraint as a last resort and any chemical restraint was clearly documented and reviewed by senior members of staff. People received their medicines safely.
Read the full summary
Right Care: The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. However, there were concerns from staff and relatives that recent changes to staffing levels were impacting on the level and quality of engagement with people at the service and opportunities to access activities in the community.
Right Culture: In the months preceding our inspection the service had been without a permanent manager. During this time there had been a lack of oversight and leadership at the service to ensure consistent good practice. However, there was a new manager who was in the process of identifying and addressing areas that required improvement. This included improvements required to ensure a safe, clean and hygienic environment was provided.
