About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 27 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
The Pines is a care home without nursing providing accommodation and personal care for people with learning disabilities and/ or autism. The care home accommodates 6 people in one adapted building. At the time of our inspection there were 4 people using the service.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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.
What inspectors found
Right Support: Although there were systems in place to support people and keep them safe, when issues were found, these were not always addressed straight away. Medicines were not stored in a safe way and checks had not identified this. Food items were not stored in the recommended ways for the produce. Not all staff received the training they needed before starting their role and refresher training was not always completed when required. 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.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Care: Care was person-centred and promoted people's dignity, privacy and human rights. People's dignity was promoted and staff demonstrated knowledge around people's individual communication preferences. Relatives mostly provided positive feedback about the care and support provided.
Right Culture: The ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of leaders and care staff ensure people using services lead confident, inclusive and empowered lives. Staff knew people well and were responsive to their needs. People were supported to participate in activities and maintain relationships with those who were important to them.
