About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 15 August 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Barkby Road is a residential care home registered to provide personal care and accommodation for up to seven younger adults diagnosed with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorder. At the time of our inspection there were six people using the service.
What inspectors found
Managers and staff were not always clear about their roles and responsibilities. This meant the service had notified us of incidents we did not need to be notified about, and there had been confusion about the wearing of PPE (personal protective equipment) at the service.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The premises had been redecorated and improved. People were involved in the choosing the new décor. The improvements had had a positive effect on the people using the service.
Staff records had improved and staff were safely recruited. Medicines management had also improved and people received their medicines safely.
Staff were trained in managing challenging situations which included identifying and responding to triggers and the use of physical intervention techniques as a last resort. Staff knew how to de-escalate situations when people were becoming distressed.
The service provided individualised, personalised care. People followed their own routines and activities. Staff understood people's communication needs and involved them in decisions about their care and support.
People, relatives and staff had the opportunity to share their views on how the service was run.
