About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 28 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Ashdene is a specialist service providing supported living for up to 17 male ex-offenders and people who are at risk of homelessness. The project also expands to provide support to people in their own homes. The people receiving support have a variety of complex needs including some people with a learning disability and/or autistic people. 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. At the time of our inspection 15 people were receiving personal care.
What inspectors found
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. People's needs and risks associated with their care were appropriately managed to ensure safe care could be provided.
Right Care: Systems and processes were effective in ensuring people were protected from the risk of abuse and staffing was provided in line with people's needs following safe recruitment procedures. People were supported by staff who knew them well and had the appropriate skills and training to support them to increase their independence and live a crime free life. People's medicines were managed safely.
Right Culture: Feedback from people and staff was mostly positive of the care provided. We found the culture of the service reflected a positive and empowering ethos which focused on people living together harmoniously and independence promotion. The service worked in partnership with other health and social care professionals to ensure safe and effective care was provided to people. The service was using governance processes effectively to learn lessons and identify any shortfalls in practice. Staff told us they felt supported in their roles.
