What inspectors found
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. We considered this guidance as there were people using the service who have a learning disability and/or autistic people.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: People at the Old Vicarage were placed at the heart of the service. There was a strong person-centred culture that encouraged people to make decisions about their life. Safe recruitment practices were followed, and people were supported by staff who knew them well. People's religious, cultural and personal diversity were recognised by the service, with their care plans outlining their backgrounds and beliefs.
The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of 'Right support, right care, right culture' in the promotion of choice, control, independence and inclusion. People were supported to have choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests. Activities were individualised to suit people's personal preferences and staff actively encouraged and supported people to achieve their goals and aspirations.
Right Care: People consistently told us they felt safe and well cared for and relatives corroborated this. Staff were kind, caring and compassionate. People and their relatives were included in decisions about their care and support. People's individual preferences were acknowledged, and people were encouraged and supported to personalise their rooms. The environment care was clean and well-maintained.
Right Culture: People's quality of life was enhanced by the service's culture of improvement and inclusivity. The registered manager and staff had established a strong and visible person-centred culture in the service through their 'Positive Culture Pledge' and all staff we spoke with were fully supportive of this.
People and staff were consistently complimentary of the registered manager and the way the service was run. Staff told us the management team were very knowledgeable, inspired a caring approach and led by example. Feedback from people, staff, professionals and relatives was sought in order to continuously drive
improvements and develop the ongoing delivery of care and support people received.
