During a routine inspection
Cliff Lodge is a residential care home providing the regulated activity of personal care to up to two people. The service provides support to children over 16 and adults up to 25 years old. Children and young people may live with a learning disability, alcohol and substance misuse and mental health challenges.
There is a 24 hour staffing provision at the service. Children and young people have private bedrooms for their own use. A communal lounge, dining room and bathroom are also available at the service.
Not everyone who used the service received personal care at the time of the inspection. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
At the time of the inspection there was no one receiving the regulated activity of personal care. This inspection looked polices and processes that the provider had in place.

Rating at last inspection
This service was registered with us on 11 February 2021 and this is the first inspection.
Why we inspected
We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the Safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively. This included checking the provider was meeting COVID-19 vaccination requirements.
The inspection was prompted in part due to concerns received about restrictive practice. A decision was made for us to inspect and examine those risks.
We found no evidence during this inspection that people were at risk of harm from this concern. Please see the effective sections of this full report.
Follow up
We will continue to monitor information we receive about the service, which will help inform when we next inspect.
