Deerhurst

Deerhurst is a small residential care home which provides accommodation, care and support for up to three people with a learning disability and autism. The home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac within a housing estate. People's rooms are located on the first floor which are accessed by stairs. The home has a lounge and conservatory, a kitchen and a separate dining room and a large garden. At the time of the inspection there were three people living at the home.

People received person centred support which met their wishes and preferences. People's support plans were detailed and up to date and showed they were involved in decisions about their support and chosen activities. People were asked for their ideas for activities and staff checked afterwards whether people had enjoyed them. The most recent survey feedback from relatives about the support their family members received was very positive and they felt involved and informed.
