Neave Crescent

Neave Crescent is a residential care home that provides personal care for up to ten people with learning and physical disabilities. At the time of the inspection there were seven people living at the service receiving care.

The service comprised of two adjoining purpose-built bungalows. The service is larger than recommended by best practice guidance. However, we have rated this service good because the provider arranged the service in a way that ensured people received person-centred care and were supported to maximise their independence, choice, control and involvement in the community. The size of the service having a negative impact on people was mitigated by the building design fitting into the residential area and the other large domestic homes of a similar size. There were deliberately no identifying signs, intercom, cameras, industrial bins or anything else outside to indicate it was a care home. Staff were also discouraged from wearing anything that suggested they were care staff when coming and going with people.
