About the service

The service has two houses known as Agbrigg House and Sandal House. Each house can accommodate up to 8 people. The service also has 4 individual flats where people live semi-independently. The service can support up to 20 people.
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.
The service was designed to support people living in two eight bedded homes and four individual flats which promoted people's independence. People had access to outside space, and this had been designed to meet their needs. People were supported to maintain a clean home with assistance from the staff team. People received their medicines as prescribed.
Right Care People received support from staff who knew them well and understood their needs and considered their preferences. Staff interacted well with people and had a caring and respectful approach.
We found healthcare professionals had been referred to appropriately and staff ensured their advice was followed.
Right Culture People were supported to lead lives that were person-centred and inclusive. People were involved in planning their support and deciding how they wanted staff to support them to meet their outcomes and achieve their goals.
Overarching governance systems included a series of audits which checked areas such as medication management, infection control and care planning. Action plans were used to develop and improve the service.
