May Lodge

May Lodge supports 1 person in their own self-contained flat attached to the main bungalow. The other 5 people have their own bedrooms with their own bathrooms. May Lodge is situated on the same grounds as another care home May Morning, which is under a separate registration.

Right Support People were supported by staff to pursue their interests and staff supported people to achieve their aspirations and goals. 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. The service gave people care and support in a safe, clean, well equipped, well-furnished, and well-maintained environment that met their sensory and physical needs.

Right Care People received kind and compassionate care. Staff protected and respected people's privacy and dignity. They understood and responded to their individual needs. People's relatives told us that the staff were very knowledgeable and caring. The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. Relatives told us they felt their loves one was safe at the service.

Right Culture People led inclusive and empowered lives because of the ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of the management and staff. People were supported by staff who understood best practice in relation to the wide range of strengths, impairments or sensitivities people with a learning disability and/or autistic people may have. This meant people received compassionate and empowering care that was tailored to their needs. People and those important to them, including advocates, were involved in planning their care.
