About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 12 August 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Leigh Court Centre is a domiciliary care service that provides personal care to people in their own homes and a number of supported living services. At the time of the inspection 16 people were receiving the regulated activity of personal care.
What inspectors found
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. Right support, right care, right culture is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements about services providing support to people with a learning disability and/or autistic people. We considered this guidance as there were people using the service who have a learning disability and or who are autistic.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right care; People were supported by staff who had checks undertaken to ensure staff were suitable, although we have made a recommendation in relation to Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks as these were not always in place prior to staff employment. People were happy with the care and support they received from staff and staff knew people well. People were supported in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests.
Right Support; People's care plans contained important information relating to their individual needs, routines, likes and dislikes. Staff promoted people's independence and choice and if required information was provided in an alternative format.
Right Culture; People received support from staff who felt well supported and who were recognised for their individual contribution. People were encouraged to raise concerns and provide feedback with staff so any problems could be resolved. People were empowered to access the local community such as cafés, the gym and places of interest. Staff supported people to access employment opportunities along with hobbies they enjoyed.
