About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 3 January 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Skills Support Limited – Doncaster provide support to people living in their own home who have a learning disability, autism and mental health conditions. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. 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.
