Read the rest of CQC's summary
We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. We found people received care and support in accordance with the principles of this guidance.
Right support:Support plans and risk assessments identified potential risks to people’s safety. staff knew people’s needs well and how to support them. Our observations of staff supporting the person confirmed staff had a person-centred approach. There were suitable numbers of staff available to meet people's assessed needs.
Right care:Staff told us they were provided with sufficient information and guidance for them to provide safe care and reduce risk. We found care was in line with people’s needs. The service encouraged people to set meaningful goals and focus on where they wanted to be in their lives. The provider made sure people could access the care, support and treatment they needed when they needed it.
Right culture:We received positive feedback about the staff working at The Lawrence. People’s care and support plans reflected any changes to their health and wellbeing. The service worked in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA).
