What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 18 July 2022 · Last inspected 20 May 2022

Inspectors found the home is moving in the right direction after a previous inadequate rating, with improvements in how people access activities and plan their goals. Staff were described as kind and respectful, people were encouraged to share views and be independent, and relatives felt listened to. The report notes these changes were only just starting at the time of inspection and need more time to become established for everyone with a learning disability.

Strengths noted
  • Staff treated people with kindness and respect, and people's rights were promoted and protected from discrimination.
  • People were encouraged to take part in planning their own care and to give their views on the support they received.
  • Staff understood how to recognise and report possible abuse.
  • Support was flexible and person-centred, with people able to make choices and be as independent as possible.
Areas to improve
  • Inspectors found the service could not yet fully show it was meeting all the underpinning principles of right support, right care, right culture.
  • Changes to goal-setting and planning support for people with a learning disability were recent and still need to become embedded.
  • Some people were only recently able to access meaningful activities more regularly, and this needs to reach everyone with a learning disability.
