However, staff were not recruited safely. Care records and risk assessments were not always up-to date. The provider did not always make sure medicines were administered safely. The principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 were not followed. There was a lack of governance oversight which meant the service did not have effective systems in place to monitor and improve the quality of the service.
We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.
