Brandon Supported Living - Cornwall

Brandon Supported Living - Cornwall is a domiciliary care agency providing care and support to people with a learning disability and autistic people in their own homes. Support can range from enabling people to access the community for a few hours a week, to 24-hour care and support for people living in supported living accommodation. The agency works across Cornwall and Plymouth and provides support to 211 people in 59 different supported living settings.

Right Support: People had choice and control and were able to make decisions about their daily lives and how their care and support was organised. The organisations values and ethos reflected the underlying principles of Right support, right care, right culture. 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. The service worked with people to plan for when they experienced periods of distress. Staff knew how to support people at these times and had received the relevant training. Staff supported people with their medicines in a way that promoted their independence and achieved the best possible health outcome. We have made a recommendation about the supporting information in place for some medicines in the report.
