About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 3 August 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Oaklea is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care to up to 5 people. The service provides support to people with a learning disability and autistic people. At the time of our inspection there were 4 people 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 the Care Quality Commission (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
Based on our inspection of key areas safe and well-led, we found:
Right Support: The service gave people care and support in a safe, clean environment which was equipped, furnished and maintained to meet their sensory and physical needs. 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 kind and compassionate care. Staff protected and respected people's privacy and dignity. They understood and responded promptly to their individual needs. Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. The service worked well with other agencies to do so. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it.
Right Culture: People received good quality care, support and treatment because staff were trained to meet their needs and wishes. Staff knew and understood people well and were responsive, supporting their aspirations to live a quality life of their choosing and achieving good outcomes.
