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.

The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of 'Right support, right care, right culture'.
Risks to people were assessed and managed safely. The registered manger was adapting their systems to use universally recognised risk assessment tools to further manage risk and ensure people's safety was consistent with national guidance and best practice.
People's needs were fully assessed and understood by staff, and care plans reflected people's individual needs. The registered manager acknowledged that some care plans had not been reviewed recently due to a change from a paper to digital system. The registered manager was reviewing these as a priority ensure they remained current.
People were protected from abuse and poor care and staff told us they were confident any concerns would be robustly addressed. The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet their needs and keep them safe.
Medicines were administered by trained staff and were managed safely and effectively.
People were supported by a consistent care team who knew them well.
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.
The registered manager modelled good practice and led by example. Staff and relatives spoke positively about the leadership within the home.
