Standby24 Ltd provides the regulated activity of personal care to people living in their own homes. At the time of this assessment the provider was providing personal care and support to 4 young adults with a learning disability and/or autism.

We carried out this assessment because it was newly registered in December 2023 and had not yet been inspected or rated.

We 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. We found the provider was meeting the principles of Right support, right care, right culture.

There were sufficient staff to meet people’s needs and keep them safe. Risks to people were assessed and their safety was monitored and managed.

Staff understood the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and made sure people consented to their care and support. People were supported in the least restrictive way possible and had maximum choice and control of their lives.

Care plans were regularly reviewed and kept up to date. Leaders carried out regular spot checks and audits. People were supported to make a complaint if needed and they were listened to and responded to appropriately. Information from complaints, comments or concerns was used to help drive improvement.

People received a personalised service and were involved in all aspects of their care and support. Staff made sure people were encouraged to do as much for themselves as possible.
