About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 11 March 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Livability – Bradbury Court is a care home that accommodates up to 21 people across two floors, each of which has separate adapted facilities. At the time of the inspection 18 people lived at the service. People who used the service had physical disabilities. Five people living at Bradbury Court had a diagnosis of a learning disability as well as a physical disability. Most people lived there permanently, and some people spent short periods there to receive respite from their main carers.

What inspectors found

People's experience of the service was positive. They were protected from the risk of harm and abuse. There were effective systems and processes in place to minimise risks. Medicines were managed safely, and care staff had been recruited safely. Feedback from people showed there were no issues with the number of staff deployed.

People's needs were assessed, and care plans reflected their needs. Meals provided were discussed with people who used the service and where people required support to eat this was done appropriately. Staff were skilled and knowledgeable about people's needs and had access to an extensive training programme to learn new skills and update their knowledge. The environment was well maintained and decorated and suitable to people's 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.
