What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 18 February 2025 (assessment visit 7 January 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Weavers Lodge is registered to provide personal care and accommodation to up to 8 people who are autistic or have a learning disability. This was a responsive assessment due to concerns raised with us about the service. We did not assess all quality statements at this assessment. We reviewed all 8 of the quality statements in the Safe key question and 2 quality statements in the Well Led key question. We visited the home on 20 November, 27 November and 12 December 2024. At the time of our assessment there were 2 people living at the home. This service was registered on 22 August 2024 and this was the first assessment. The provider and the registered manager did not have fully effective oversight of the service. Staff were fully committed to the service and clearly trying their best to provide good quality, safe care to people. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and ensured people were safe. We found 3 breaches of regulation in relation to safe care and treatment, safeguarding people and governance of the service.

Safe
No rating
This key question has been rated requires improvement. This meant some aspects of the service were not always safe and there was limited assurance about safety. We found people were not fully protected from poor care and abuse. Staff did not always support people with their medicines in a safe and effective way. Risks to people had not been fully considered or planned for. Staff did not always have sufficient skills, experience or knowledge to meet 1 person's needs. The provider was therefore in breach of regulations in relation to safe care and treatment and safeguarding service users from abuse and improper treatment. This was a breach of Regulation 12 (Safe care and treatment) and Regulation 13 (Safeguarding service users from abuse and improper treatment) of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

This was a breach of Regulation 17 (Good governance) of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
