At the time of our inspection there was 1 person using the service. Who received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided.

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: Model of Care and setting that maximises people's choice, control and independence A person was 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. All care was carried out by the registered manager, who was also a director, and the other director. Both regularly received training in safeguarding to keep their knowledge of their responsibilities up to date. The registered manager understood their responsibilities to report any allegations of safeguarding to the local authority safeguarding team, although none had been necessary since our last inspection. Health and safety checks were carried out of the premises to make sure they were safe. The premises were clean, tidy and hygienic and the registered manager and director followed current infection control and hygiene practice to reduce the risk of infections.

Right Care: Care is person-centred and promotes people's dignity, privacy and human rights A person received the right support in relation to risks, such as those relating to learning disabilities. The registered manager and director together provided enough support to safely care for the person and no other staff were required. No support relating to medicines was provided at the time of our inspection.
