Woodstock House

Woodstock House is one adapted building situated in the centre of Salisbury and provides easy access to local facilities. There is a communal living and dining area and a conservatory with access to the garden. People at the service were supported to develop independent living skills. The goal is for people to move onto more independent living.

We were assured that people were protected by the prevention and control of infection.

The service was well-led. The management team provided clear leadership and was committed to providing high quality care. Staff felt valued and well supported. Health care professionals spoke highly of the model of care provided by the service. Effect systems were in place to monitor the quality and safety of the service.

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.

We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. Right Support, right care, right culture is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements about services providing support to people with a learning disability and/or autistic people.

This service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture. People were supported to maximise their independence and their ability to manage aspects of their own lives. People had regular access to others who were important to them, two people said they were able to have their family pet visit and stay with them. People were treated as individuals and supported to reach their goals.
