Dunblane House

Dunblane House is a large terraced house supporting up to four people living with learning difficulties. It is situated in a residential area of Blackpool close to local amenities. It is run as a domestic family household. People live with the owners and share the communal facilities. Each person has their own bedroom. There is an outside area with seating at the rear of the property. At the time of the inspection 2 people lived at the home.

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. Right Support: The service supported people to have choices and promoted their independence. This is a small family run home however staff had completed training to ensure they understood the meaning of the service they provided. People were supported to pursue their interests whilst living at Dunblane House. One person said, "I like going to the centre and enjoy playing dominoes." People were encouraged to have maximum choice and control of their lives. The provider and staff helped them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. People's medication was managed by staff and required prompting support only. Staff were trained to administer medication.
