Ringstead House

Ringstead House is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care for up to 4 people in 1 adapted building. The service provides support to younger adults and adults with learning disabilities and autism. At the time of our inspection there were 3 people using the service.

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.

Right Support: 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. People were supported in a safe, clean and well-furnished environment.

Right Care: People's equality and diversity was promoted. Care workers understood people's cultural needs and provided culturally appropriate care. People received kind and compassionate care, and their privacy and dignity were respected.
