What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 17 November 2025 (assessment visit 21 August 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Date of assessment: 27 August to 25 September 2025. Salthouse Road is a care home for autistic people and people with a learning disability. Seven people were living at the service at the time of our inspection. We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

The provider was previously in breach of 3 regulations regarding safe care and treatment, governance and not notifying CQC of all relevant incidents. Whilst some improvements were noted, and we were notified of incidents appropriately, the provider was still in breach of regulations pertaining to safety and governance.

Systems and processes were not always effective in identifying and driving consistent improvement. The provider had not ensured actions identified through previous inspections were completed and embedded into practice. Records were not always accurate and complete. Risks to people had not always been identified or assessed.

We received positive feedback about the care people received. Staff were positive about the support they received from the registered manager, who was visible within the service. Staff understood their safeguarding responsibilities and were confident actions would be taken if they observed any poor practice. The registered manager and staff team shared information with health professionals to improve the care people received. One professional told us, "The registered manager's communication with us is really good and they are seeking support." Visitors were welcomed to the service and people regularly engaged in activities tailored to their interests.

We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this assessment.

    No rating

    This means we looked for evidence that people were protected from abuse and avoidable harm. At our last assessment we rated this key question good. At this assessment the rating has changed to requires improvement. This meant some aspects of the service were not always safe and there was limited assurance about safety. There was an increased risk that people could be harmed.

    The service remained in breach of legal regulation in relation to people’s safe care and treatment.

  2. Effective

    Good

    This means we looked for evidence that people’s care, treatment and support achieved good outcomes and promoted a good quality of life, based on best available evidence. At our last assessment we rated this key question good. At this assessment the rating has remained good. This meant people’s outcomes were consistently good, and people’s feedback confirmed this.

At this assessment the rating has remained good. This meant people were supported and treated with dignity and respect; and involved as partners in their care.

  4. Responsive

    Good

    This means we looked for evidence the provider met people’s needs. At our last assessment we rated this key question good. At this assessment the rating has remained good. This meant people’s needs were met through good organisation and delivery.

  5. Well-led

    No rating

    This means we looked for evidence that service leadership, management and governance assured high-quality, person-centred care; supported learning and innovation; and promoted an open, fair culture. At our last assessment we rated this key question good. At this assessment the rating has changed to requires improvement. This meant the management and leadership was inconsistent.
