About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 11 June 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Abberley House is a residential care home providing respite support to people with a learning disability or other complex needs. This means people stay at Abberley House for short periods of time, providing a break for their usual carer. At the time of the inspection three people were being provided with personal care at the home. The service can support up to nine people.
What inspectors found

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 were assessed so any potential risks were identified, and steps taken to keep them safe. Systems in place safeguarded people from abuse and staff were knowledgeable about how to support people safely. People were protected from harm through infection control measures and safe management of medicines.
Right care Observations and records showed that people experienced choice and control over their support and care planning was person centred. The culture of the service promoted people's independence and people, relatives and staff all reported being part of a family. People were supported to express their views and treated with dignity and respect.
Right culture Systems and processes in place promoted a positive culture at the home. Practices at the service were audited to monitor quality of the care people received and areas of improvement were identified. Further review of governance records was ongoing since the service reopened to people in October 2021 following the pandemic. There was good communication with other agencies to ensure people's needs were met.
