What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 20 January 2020 · Last inspected 19 November 2019
Inspectors rated this short-stay respite home for people with learning disabilities, and sometimes physical disabilities, sensory impairments or mental health needs, as good. They found care to be person-centred, with staff who knew people well, kept care plans and risk assessments up to date, and involved people, relatives and professionals in reviews. People described feeling safe, staff were described as kind and attentive, and people were supported to make choices and to enjoy activities and outings during their stays.
- Care plans and risk assessments are regularly reviewed with input from people, relatives, staff and professionals, and are tailored to individual needs.
- A wide range of activities and outings, chosen by people, is offered, including through an on-site day service for those who do not attend a local day centre.
- The registered manager is well regarded by people, relatives and professionals, and feedback from a range of sources feeds into the service improvement plan.
- Staff recruitment, induction, medication handling and training are well organised, with training covering safeguarding, mental capacity and epilepsy.
- The report notes that the service has few complaints, and where they occurred they were dealt with promptly, but it does not raise specific areas for improvement.
