What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 12 November 2024 (assessment visit 7 October 2024). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
An assessment has been undertaken of a specialist service that is used by autistic people or people with a learning disability. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability 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. Cherrycroft is a residential care home providing the regulated activity of accommodation and personal care to up to 10 people. The service provides support to people with learning disabilities and mental health needs. At the time of assessment 10 people were using the service. We carried out our on-site assessment on 2 October 2024, off site assessment activity started on 30 September 2024 and ended on 9 October 2024.
