About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 25 May 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Lighthouse is a residential care home and provides accommodation and support to adults with a substance misuse and associated needs, including mental health. The service provides support for up to 44 people and at the time of our inspection there were 37 people living at the home.
What inspectors found
People were positive about the home and the support they received. People told us they received their medicines safely and when they needed them. Staff had received training in safeguarding and knew how to identify and report concerns. Accidents, incidents had been documented and lessons were learned where required. Staff received training and guidance to manage infection control effectively.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People had been involved in a very impressive refurbishment of the home and were pleased with the results. There was an established staff team that was motivated and trained to carry out their roles effectively. People found the staff supportive and care assessments were person centred and met their needs.
People and staff were positive about the culture in the home and we observed this during the inspection. Effective management systems were in place to improve the service and staff received good support and told us they enjoyed working at Lighthouse.
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.
