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: People were supported to retain their independence including in relation to finances and medicines. Risk assessments provided guidance for staff about how to keep people safe, including when accessing the community.

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: People received person-centred support from staff who were kind and caring. Staff ensured people's dignity and privacy was respected. People were supported in line with the Equality Act 2010.

Right Culture: The provider and registered manager had oversight of care quality and safety in the service. Lessons were learned and measures were implemented to help prevent a recurrence. Staff were recruited safely and there were sufficient numbers of staff to meet people's needs.
