About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 26 July 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Heatherley - Care Home with Nursing Physical Disabilities is a residential care home that provide personal and nursing care for a maximum of 42 people. At the time of our inspection there were 33 people living there. People live either in the main building or in one of eight self-contained bungalows located within the grounds. People who lived in the bungalows used the facilities in the main building at any time of day or night. People living at Heatherley had physical disabilities and some people also had a learning disability or acquired brain injury.

What inspectors found

Based on our review of safe, effective and well-led the service was not able to demonstrate how they were meeting some of the underpinning principles of Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture. However, the provider was working toward meeting the principles, and embedding the positive changes made into the running of the service.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Right Support People were able to access meaningful activities more regularly than they had been able to previously. Changes were being made so people were supported to identify goals and outcomes and plan the support they needed to achieve these. These improvements were just beginning at the time of inspection and time was needed for this to be embedded and for everyone with a learning disability to benefit from the changes.

Right Care Care was becoming more person centred and flexible to meet people's needs. People were supported by a kind and caring staff team who treated them with respect. People's rights were promoted, and they were protected from discrimination. Staff understood their responsibilities to protect people from abuse and knew how to report concerns should they need to.

Right Culture There was a positive ethos at the service and people were involved in planning their own care and were encouraged to give their views about the support they received. People were supported to develop their skills and to be as independent as possible. People's relatives were able to give their feedback about the support their family members received and their views were listened to.

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.
