About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 30 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Gabriel House is a small residential care home that provides accommodation and personal care for up to 5 adults with learning disabilities and/or autism. At the time of our inspection there were 3 people being supported at Gabriel House.
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: Recruitment at the service was not always safe. There was sufficient staff at the service to allow individuals to access the community safely. The environment needed some maintenance and upkeep and we have made a recommendation about this to the service who are already making steps to achieve this. Individuals had positive behaviour support plans which helped staff support individuals and use de- escalation. Staff provided person centred support. Medicines management at the service was safe.
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: There were sufficient staff deployed to meet people's needs and wishes. A small number of agency staff were used to cover staff vacancies however following recruitment this had reduced. We have made a recommendation about agency staff induction. People received person-centred care. Staff recognised and responded to changes to individual's physical and emotional needs.
Right Culture: The quality assurance systems did not provide full oversight of the service. Audits had not highlighted some of the areas we found on inspection. Improvements were needed in oversight and embedding the new systems in place. The service had a new registered manager who was making improvements in this area.
