What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 17 April 2020 · Last inspected 28 February 2020

Inspectors found that the service, a supported living scheme in a purpose-built apartment block where people have their own self-contained homes, treats people with kindness, dignity and respect. Staff were described as skilled at adapting their approach and communicating with people, and there were enough of them to meet needs safely, with a training and supervision programme in place. The report says the provider and registered manager had effective systems for checking quality and safety; this was the service's first inspection after registration.

  • Risks are identified and managed in a way that respects people's right to take informed, positive risks
