What inspectors found
CQC: OutstandingReport published 6 June 2023 · Last inspected 5 December 2022
Inspectors describe a large home with eight separate houses, four of which were open at the time of the visit, caring for 42 people. Staff are reported to learn each person's history, preferences and daily routines, and to use that knowledge in everyday support, which the report links to better wellbeing and self-esteem. The atmosphere is described as inclusive and person-centred, with patient, kind and empathetic staff and a management team that the report credits with setting a clear direction.
- Staff learn about people's life histories, such as preferred clothing, scents and jewellery, and recreate familiar daily routines in the home, which the report says improves people's self-esteem.
- Staff are praised for their patience and knowledge, and specialist training allows them to support people who are distressed without using physical restraint.
- New admissions are handled with several pre-move visits, and people are involved in decisions about how their bedroom is decorated and furnished.
- Work with external professionals is reported to have improved people's health, including a reduction in the use of chemical restraint medication.
