About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 23 September 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Holly Tree Cottage is a care home providing personal care for up to six people with a learning disability and/or autistic people. At the time of the inspection six people were living at the home.
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.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: Staff recognised signs when people experienced emotional distress. Each person's care and support plan explained how staff should respond and how to avoid the need for restricting people's freedom. One person's plan had not always been followed by staff. This had placed both the person and staff at risk.
Right Care: The care and support provided was effective in supporting most people at times of distress. However, it was evident 1 person's current and changing needs, in relation to their distress, could not be safely met at Holly Tree Cottage. The manager and the provider were taking action to address this issue.
Right Culture: Staff recognised incidents and reported them appropriately and managers investigated incidents and shared lessons learned. Staff took part in post incident reviews, after they had supported people experiencing emotional distress.
