Millenium Care Limited - 1 Old Park

Millennium Care Limited – 1 Old Park is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care for up to ten people with learning and physical disabilities. At the time of the inspection there were nine people living at the service.

People living in the home had lived there for several years and staff knew them and their needs well. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives within the limitations posed by lockdown restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. 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 guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services providing support to people with a learning disability and/or autistic people.

The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting some of the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture. People were supported to live stimulating lives within the confines of the national lockdown. People had been restricted from taking part in their usual leisure activities during the lockdown but had recently started going out again and told us they had been to a day service, for walks, shopping and out for coffee. Activities provision was individualised to some extent to people's likes, hobbies and interests and promoted choice, control and independence.
