What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 27 August 2024 (assessment visit 11 July 2024). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
House of St Martin is registered to provide personal care and accommodation to up to 31 people. The home specialises in supporting men coming from prison or secure hospitals with multiple needs, including substance misuse, mental health issues or a learning disability. We visited the home on 23 & 25 July 2024. At the time of the site visit there were 21 people living at the home. At the last inspection of the service, published in May 2021, we found breaches of Regulation 12, Safe care and treatment, Regulation 17, Good governance and Regulation 18, Staffing. At this inspection we found improvements had been made and the provider was no longer in breach of regulations. People and staff spoke highly of the improvements made and all felt it was a good place to live and work.
