About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 17 January 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Bishops Gate is a care home providing residential care for up to eight adults with learning disabilities. In particular they provide residential care for people with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). Whilst independent with many areas of their daily lives, people living at Bishops Gate require a high level of support to enable them to manage risk and remain safe. The home was formed of one adapted residential building.
What inspectors found
Right Support Staff supported people to have the maximum possible choice, control and independence be independent and they had control over their own lives. Staff focused on people's strengths and promoted what they could do, so people had a fulfilling and meaningful everyday life. One person said, "There are good choices, it's just great living here." Staff enabled people to access specialist health and social care support in the community. Staff supported people to make decisions following best practice in decision-making. 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.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Care People received kind and compassionate care. Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. The service worked well with other agencies to do so. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it. Staff and people cooperated to assess risks people might face. Where appropriate, staff encouraged and enabled people to take positive risks.
Right Culture People led inclusive and empowered lives because of the ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of the management and staff. People received good quality care, support and treatment because trained management and staff could meet their needs and wishes.
