About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 21 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

What inspectors found
Right Support: Model of Care and setting that maximises people's choice, control and independence. Staff were recruited safely and had appropriate training on how to safeguard people using the service. The provider followed current best practice guidelines to effectively manage people's medicines and risks associated with infection prevention and control (IPC).
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. However, mental capacity assessments completed by the provider had not always included all the necessary information. Actions taken by the provider to address this gap will be reviewed at our next planned inspection.
