About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 18 April 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Leighside is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 5 people. The service provides support to people with a learning disability and/or autistic people. At the time of our inspection there were 5 people using the service.
What inspectors found
Right Support: Care plans contained sufficient detail for staff to support people to lead the lives they wanted. People were involved in managing risks to themselves and in taking decisions about how to keep safe.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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: Care was mostly person-centred and promoted people's dignity, privacy and human rights. Support plans were being reviewed to ensure these were consistent with people's needs. The manager was able to explain the improvements they were making to the service such as reviewing the medicine recording system and updating decision documentation for those people who needed support to make day to day decisions.
Right Culture: While there were systems in place to monitor and improve the quality and safety of the service, these had not always been effective and actions not completed. Relatives had mixed feedback about the service. The manager acknowledged there had been, and continued to be, challenges related to management and staff team changes and new ways of working. They told us team building was work in progress and was improving.
