Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
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 were recruited safely and received the necessary training to support people safely and meet their needs. People were protected from the risk of abuse and risks to people had been assessed, people's care plans were regularly reviewed and updated. Staff supported people to maintain their health and wellbeing by accessing healthcare services which positively supported their health.
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: Staff understood how to promote people's independence and ensured the care they provided treated people with dignity and respect. Staff had received training in equality and diversity and the service supported people to express their views. People's communication needs were considered and met. Medicines were managed safely, and we were assured that the provider had sufficient infection, prevention and control measures in place
Right Culture: The service promoted a person-centred culture. The registered manager understood their responsibilities and had identified areas to improve the quality of the service through the audit systems in place. People's needs were assessed prior to them receiving care and support from the service. People's needs and preferences were highlighted in their care plans for staff to follow.
