What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 25 January 2023 · Last inspected 13 December 2022
Inspectors describe Livability Ashley Place as a large residential home for adults with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and autistic people, with 18 people using it at the time of the visit. The report describes a generally positive standard of care, with people reporting kind and supportive staff, personalised rooms with en suite facilities, and adaptations that help with independence. Some communication difficulties with agency staff and with managers are highlighted as areas to improve.
- The building layout and adaptations, such as door openers, adjustable tables and overhead hoists, help people move around more independently.
- Each person has their own room and en suite, personalised to their needs and preferences.
- Staff know people well, people have communication passports, and people are supported to access health and community services.
- Care plans and risk assessments reflect people's needs, and staff understand how to protect people from poor care and abuse.
- Reliance on agency staff who do not always know people well has made communication difficult at times.
- Active support approaches and training are applied unevenly, and the layout limits some people's opportunities to do daily tasks for themselves.
- Some relatives and professionals reported difficulties communicating with managers, and some were unclear who the registered manager was.
