If you have concerns about Hampton House, you can give feedback on this service.
Hampton House is an extra housing scheme comprising of 33 self-contained flats which can be rented by younger adults and older people. The service can support people with personal care which is provided by a team of care staff through pre-arranged calls. At the time of our inspection 21 people were receiving personal care. CQC only inspects the service being received by people provided with personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided.
The provider is also registered as a domiciliary care agency. This part of the service was not inspected, or rated during this inspection, as they were only providing support at Hampton House.

People and relatives spoke positively about the service they received. Staff knew how to keep people safe and protect from harm. Risks associated with people’s care and their home environments were identified and assessed. Staff were recruited safely, and medicines were administered safely, by staff trained in medicine management.
People and their relatives had confidence in the ability of staff to provide effective care. Staff development was supported through an induction when they started work. Ongoing training was provided to the staff team to ensure their skills and knowledge remained up to date. People had access to healthcare professionals to ensure their ongoing healthcare needs were met.
People received person centred care and developed positive relationships with staff, who had a good understanding of their care and support needs. People’s right to dignity and privacy were respected and their independence was promoted.
People and relatives were involved in their care plans to ensure they reflected people’s preferences, religious and cultural beliefs and values. People knew how to make a complaint and feedback on the service was encouraged and used to drive forward improvements and learn lessons.
The registered manager had processes in place to monitor and review the quality of the service provided, for example, audits of care records.
