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: Some staff had supported people living at East Dene Court for a long time. They had built up positive relationships and knew people's needs well. Staff supported people to engage in activities they chose and to access the community when they wanted. 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.
Right Care: Staff understood people's preferred communication methods and supported them to make daily living choices. Staff were kind towards people and treated them with dignity and respect. Relatives gave positive feedback about the care provided.
Right Culture: The service had a positive and person-centred culture. The registered manager and staff were focused on supporting the needs of people using the service. The registered manager was committed to on-going improvement and looking at ways of improving people's lives.
