About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 5 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Northenden House is a care home and provides accommodation and personal care for up to 6 people who have a range of needs including autism, mental health needs and/or learning disabilities. There were 4 people using the service at the time of this inspection
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 Individuals independence was promoted at the service and staff encouraged individuals to make choices around their care and activities. Care plans were routinely reviewed and updated and reflected the care given to people at the service. Risks were appropriately identified and risk assessments were robust and showed ways to manage and mitigate risks. People were supported to take part in meaningful activities including having access to the community, this included trips to the park, the shop and a farm. The staff team knew individuals needs well and told us they knew individuals triggers and are able to reduce risks through positive behaviour 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.
Right Care People received kind and person-centred care. Staff responded to individuals needs well and supported them appropriately. People had access to nursing staff 24 hours a day and the service worked well with external health care professionals when needed. Medicine management at the service was safe and oversight was clear.
Right Culture People received good quality care from the service and the service knew individuals well and responded well to them. Individuals were involved in the service delivery and also planning of their care. The service had developed "success" plans which showed individual journeys at the service and marked achievements. The service engaged those who lived and worked at the service and acted on feedback.
