Wellbeing Living

Wellbeing Living provides care and support to people in a supported living accommodation which could accommodate up to 6 people. The service worked with people with various conditions, including physical health needs, mental health and people with a learning disability. At the time of the inspection, the service was supporting 1 person. 2 other people were still registered with the service but were on extended leave and not present at the time of inspection.

At the time of the inspection, the location did not care or support for anyone with a learning disability or an autistic person. However, we assessed the care provision under Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture, as it is registered as a specialist service for this population group.

Staff understood what safeguarding was and how to report any concerns. The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. Risks to people were assessed and clear information given to staff on how to minimise those risks. Staff were recruited safely, and all relevant background checks were done. People received their medicines safely and on time. People were supported to manage their medicines. There were systems in place to address and manage infection control.

Staff were supported through regular training and supervision. People were supported to eat and drink where this was an identified care and support need. 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.
