About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 5 October 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

The Hadlows is a residential care home providing personal care to seven people with an acquired brain injury. An acquired brain injury (ABI) is an injury caused to the brain since birth. An ABI can result in people having complex long-term problems affecting their personality, relationships and ability to lead an independent life. The service can support up to nine people.

What inspectors found

People said they were supported in the right way, so they could do the things that they wanted. This included cooking, gaining employment and visiting places of interest. People were encouraged to be independent and were involved in planning and cooking meals. Mealtimes were social occasions where people and staff sat together, and people helped with the preparation.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Everyone said that staff knew them well and that they enjoyed talking to and spending time with them. Guidance was available for staff to follow about how to meet people's health, social and personal care needs.

People told us that staff reminded them to make sure they attended medical appointments. People's health needs were met through developing partnership working with a range of health care professionals. People continued to receive their medicines as prescribed.

Staff received ongoing training and support to ensure they had the necessary skills and knowledge to meet people's individual needs. People said there were always staff available to support them when they needed.

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 continued to be well led. Everyone benefitted from an open and inclusive culture where lessons were learned to provide good outcomes for people. One professional told us, "The whole team and particularly the registered manager, have been instrumental in providing a safe, responsive, empathic and client centred environment where my client has flourished".
