Franklyn Lodge

Franklyn Lodge is a residential home providing accommodation and personal care for a maximum of four adults who have a learning disability. At the time of this inspection, there were four people using the service.

People living at the home have their own bedrooms and have access to communal facilities including bathrooms, lounge and dining areas, the kitchen and garden.

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 offered choices about what they wanted to do and the support they required from staff. People's care plans provided guidance for staff on meeting their needs in the way they preferred. People were supported to participate in activities that were important to them.
