About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 26 January 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
6 Lamberts (Foxglove) is a residential care home providing personal care and support to up to five people. The service provides support to people with a learning disability, autistic people, as well as support for people's mental and, or physical healthcare needs. At the time of our inspection there were three people living at the service.
What inspectors found
Right support: People were mostly supported in line with their needs, but some further improvements were necessary to ensure people lived safe lives. People were supported by staff who were familiar with their needs. Staff took into account any risks when providing people's care and worked collaboratively with other health and social care agencies. Families were important contributors to people's care.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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.
Right care: The service had turned around its rating of inadequate to good. The service was able to demonstrate how they were measuring the quality of what they did. It was ensuring people had good outcomes of care and able to access the right resources and support. People were going out in line with their needs and choosing what they wanted to do. Staff had the right training and support for their roles and understood what constituted good care.
Right culture: Management were open and visible and had created a culture of learning, opportunity and reflection. Staff were encouraged to speak out and contribute to the development of the service. People were empowered to live their lives in line with their preferences and were given the opportunity to have new and repeated experiences. The environment was conducive to people's needs and a rise in living standards enhanced people's wellbeing.
