What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 1 May 2020 · Last inspected 20 March 2020
Inspectors found that people were happy and well cared for by a caring team, who helped them work towards their own goals and offered choices about their care. Staff knew each person well, and people could share meals and activities in a large dining room with a range of menu options. The report notes the home is larger than best practice guidance recommends.
- Staff knew each person well and understood the level of support each one needed.
- Support focused on building skills and independence, with two adapted bungalows helping people move towards independent living.
- Medicines were managed safely, risks were assessed with steps to reduce them, and staffing levels were sufficient.
- Staff received regular training and supervision, and quality checks helped the registered manager monitor and improve care.
- The service is larger than best practice guidance recommends, and it was not originally designed around the principles of Registering the Right Support.
