All Inspections

23 July 2013

During a routine inspection

We visited the offices at Bolton Supported Living Services on 23 July 2013. We spent some time speaking with the managers and looked at some of the records that they need to keep.

We asked, with the permission of people who used the service if we could visit their homes.

For some people communication was limited and they expressed themselves with gestures and facial expressions. Some people could not express themselves in any way and it was down to the expertise of staff caring for them that to assess their needs and comforts.

One person we spoke could express their happiness at being taken to a pop concert and going wheelchair ice skating.

We spoke with staff with staff who confirmed they received regular supervision and had development and training opportunities.

During a routine inspection

During our inspection we visited two of the houses. People we spoke with told us:

'I like living here'.

' I'm fine here.'

'Everything is good'.

A member of staff said, 'We have excellent support from our managers. We can approach them at any time.'
