The residential home is made up of separate apartments each having their own bathroom and kitchen facilities.
The service has been developed and designed in line with the principles and values that underpin Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. This ensures that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes. The principles reflect the need for people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live meaningful lives that include control, choice, and independence. People using the service receive planned and co-ordinated person-centred support that is appropriate and inclusive for them.
What inspectors found
Most people were unable to tell us about their experience of living at the home, however relatives told us they were confident their family members were safe. Staff knew how to identify and report concerns relating to people's safety. Risks were assessed and managed to reduce the risk of avoidable harm. People received support to take their medicines safely. There were enough staff to meet people's care and support needs.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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. Decisions about people's care and treatment were made in line with law and guidance.
Staff encouraged people to maintain a balanced diet and understood people's special dietary needs. The registered manager and staff team worked with external health professionals to ensure people's health and wellbeing were maintained.
Staff were caring in their approach and had good relationships with people. Promoting independence was encouraged, to enable people to improve their daily life skills further. Staff had a good understanding of people's individual communication methods and supported people to make their own decisions.
People were supported by a staff team who understood their complex needs and their preferences. Relatives and external professionals were involved in the assessment and planning of people's care. Relatives knew how to raise a concern if they were unhappy about the service they or their family member received.
A registered manager was in post. Positive feedback was received in relation to the management of the service. People, relatives and staff had opportunities to feedback about the running of the service. Quality
checks were carried out to monitor the service and identified where improvements could be made.
