What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 10 May 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
About the service: Harbour Care Home provides accommodation and personal care for up to 12 people with mental health needs. At the time of the inspection there were eight people living at the service. This service also provided care and support to people living in a 'supported living' setting, so that they can live as independently as possible. There were seven people receiving a regulated activity. People's care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate premises used for supported living; this inspection looked at people's personal care and support.
