About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 24 October 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Heathfield House is a care home providing care and support for up to 10 people who have a learning disability and or mental health needs. At the time of our inspection 10 people were living at the service. People received support from staff 24 hours a day. The service is owned by an individual who also owns 2 other adult social care services in North London.
What inspectors found
The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of right support, right care, right culture.
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. Staff focused on people's strengths and promoted people's capabilities, so people had a fulfilling and meaningful everyday life. People had a choice about their living environment and were able to personalise their rooms. Staff supported people to make decisions following best practice in decision-making. Staff communicated with people in ways that met their needs. We made a recommendation for the provider to review accessible communication guidance. Staff supported people with their medicines in a way that promoted their independence and achieved the best possible health outcomes. Staff supported people to play an active role in maintaining their own health and wellbeing.
Read the full summary
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. Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. The service worked well with other agencies to do so. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it. The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. People could communicate with staff and understand information given to them because staff supported them consistently and understood their individual communication needs. People's care, treatment and support plans reflected their range of needs, and this promoted their wellbeing and enjoyment of life. Staff and people cooperated to assess risks people might face. Where appropriate, staff encouraged and enabled people to take positive risks. We made a recommendation to the provider to
review how they identified lessons learned following incident and accidents.
Right Culture: People led inclusive and empowered lives because of the ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of the management and staff. People received good quality care, support and treatment because trained staff and specialists could meet their needs and wishes. Staff knew and understood people well and were responsive, supporting their aspirations to live a quality life of their choosing. Staff placed people's wishes, needs and rights at the heart of everything they did. People and those important to them, including advocates, were involved in planning their care.
