About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 18 July 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

What inspectors found

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.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Right Support: 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.

People received care and support to maintain an environment that suited their needs and preferences. Staff supported people to make decisions following best practice in decision-making.

Staff supported people to access health and social care services. Staff supported people with their medicines safely and in their preferred way.

Right Care: Risks were fully assessed within people's lives and staff worked safely with people.

People received care that was person-centred. Staff communicated with people in ways that met their individual needs.

Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it. The service employed skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe.

Right Culture: The ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of the management team and staff team ensured people lead confident, inclusive and empowered lives.

People received good quality care and support because trained staff and specialists could meet their needs and wishes.

People and those important to them, including social care professionals, were involved in planning their care. The manager and the staff team ensured people received support based on best practice, respect and inclusivity.
