What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 25 June 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
About the service: Spectrum Care Services provides care and support to people living in a number of 'supported living' settings, so that they can live as independently as possible.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The care service had been developed and designed in line with the values that underpin Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. These values include choice, promotion of independence and inclusion. People with learning disabilities and autism using the service can live as ordinary life as any citizen.
People's experience of using this service: People's care needs were assessed, and they received good quality person-centred care from support workers who understood their needs well.
Support workers promoted people's choice and independence and ensured they had access to a range of individualised activities.
People were engaged and involved in the day to day running of their home. They were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible.
Support workers were knowledgeable and received training, supervision and support to carry out their roles effectively. Support workers were committed to providing person centred support.
The atmosphere at the supported living houses we visited was relaxed and friendly. People told us that they liked their homes, which were able to meet their needs, for example accessible to wheelchair users.
Support workers used a variety of communication methods to ensure people's wishes were heard and acted upon.
