About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 25 March 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Minehead is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 6 people. The service provides support to people with mild to severe learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder. At the time of our inspection there were 5 people using the service. The care home accommodates people in one adapted building in the London borough of Lambeth.
What inspectors found
The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture.
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 who are autistic.

Right Support People's medicines were managed safely. People were kept safe from avoidable harm because staff knew them well and understood how to protect them from abuse. The service worked well with other agencies to do so. The service had enough staff, including for one-to-one support for people to take part in activities and visits how and when they wanted. People received support from staff to make their own decisions about medicines wherever possible.
Right Care Staff supported people to express their views using their preferred method of communication. People had the opportunity to try new experiences, develop new skills and gain independence.
Right Culture The registered manager worked hard to instil a culture of care in which staff truly valued and promoted people's individuality, protected their rights and enabled them to develop and flourish. Staff felt respected, supported and valued by senior staff which supported a positive and improvement-driven culture.
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.
