About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 21 October 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Homeleigh Residential Care Home is a small care home that provides accommodation and personal care support for up to five adults with learning disabilities and or autism and who may have enduring mental ill- health. At the time of our inspection five people were using the service.
What inspectors found
People received their medicines as prescribed. However, there were discrepancies in the records relating how people's medicines should be given. The medicines audit completed by the registered manager had not picked this up before our inspection.
Risks to people's physical health and safety were assessed and appropriate actions put in place to mitigate such risks. Safeguarding procedures were followed to protect people from risks of abuse. The physical environment of the home was safe and suitable for people using the service. Health and safety systems were maintained. Records of incidents and accidents were maintained and reviewed by the registered manager.

People's needs were thoroughly assessed in line with recommended guidance. People were supported to eat and drink to meet their nutritional needs. People had access to a range of health and social care professionals to meet their needs.
People were supported to integrate in the home and social inclusion was promoted. The registered manager understood their responsibilities to safeguard people from abuse and had followed the provider's safeguarding policies and procedures to address any safeguarding concern raised.
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.
Records showed consent was obtained from people and their representative for the care and support they received, where appropriate. Records showed people's legal rights were protected in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). This service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture. People were supported to be independent as possible and do the things they wanted; and follow their interest. People's human rights, dignity and privacy was respected. People were involved in the day-to-day decisions about their care and support. People received care tailored to meet their individual needs.
People knew how to make a complaint about the service and told us the registered manager addressed their concerns. The registered manager assessed the quality of the service through audits and checks. The registered manager worked in partnership with other organisation to meet people's needs and improve the service.
