About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 19 May 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Brett Vale is a residential home without nursing. It provides personal care to up to 10 adults who have a learning disability or who are autistic. At the time of the inspection there were 9 people living in the home. The accommodation was in a rural setting with extensive grounds. Each person had their own room with an en suite and they shared large communal facilities if they chose to access and use these.
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.

People's relatives felt their family members were safe and well cared for living at Brett Vale. Relatives described people being supported to live their own lives with as much independence as possible. The service had a good understanding of the risks people faced in their day to day lives and the ways they could support them to minimise those risks whilst maximising choice and individuality. This enabled people to achieve positive outcomes and promoted a good quality of life.
People were supported by sufficient numbers of well-trained staff who knew them, and their support needs well. People were supported to follow and engage with their own interests and aspirations.
People's medicines were managed safely. Effective infection control measures were in place to protect people.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
The registered manager was respected by the staff and promoted an open and transparent culture. The registered manager and staff understood their roles and responsibilities to provide a service to people that respected their individuality.
People's needs were assessed by a multi-disciplinary team of health and social care professionals. Care plans were developed using person centred language and detailed individual needs, preferences and methods of communication.
