What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 31 July 2025 (assessment visit 16 May 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Date of Assessment: 2 June to 23 June 2025. Lifeways Community Care (East Midlands) is registered to provide supported living services and homecare. They provide personal care to people with learning disabilities and autistic people living in their own homes. 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. Not everyone who used the service received personal care through the homecare provision, so we did not inspect this part of the service as 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.
