About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 11 October 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

What inspectors found
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it. At the time of the inspection, the location did not care or support for anyone with a learning disability or an autistic person. However, we assessed the care provision under Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture, as it is registered as a specialist service for this population group.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: Risk assessments that were put in place encouraged people to live independent lives. Positive risks were taken to enable people to access the community and in some cases manage their own medication with the support of staff.
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.
Right Care: Peoples wishes and choices were reflected in their support plans. The home took steps to engage with people so that their voices were heard.
Right Culture: The registered manager spoke passionately about the values of the home; communication, honesty and teamwork. Staff that we spoke to understand the home's "challenge charter" which encouraged them to speak up about concerns. Both people and staff spoke positively of the environment and we witnessed managers taking steps to promote this.
