Our view of the service
We inspected Turning Point – Stanfield House from 19 to 20 May 2026.
Turning Point – Stanfield House was registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on 8 February 2011 to deliver the regulated activity ‘Accommodation for persons who require treatment for substance misuse’.
The service provides residential rehabilitation and day services to people aged 18 to 65, who are recovering from the impact of substance and alcohol misuse. The service has 11 beds and can provide care to people of all genders. At the time of our inspection, there were 11 people living at the service. Funding for placements was provided by local authorities in the area that people usually live. People could also pay privately for care.
We found the service provided person-centred care, and promoted people’s independence. Care was tailored around individual need, with a range of therapeutic activities held regularly to support client rehabilitation. People using the service praised staff for their respectful, dignified approach, and noted the positive impact the service had in their recovery.
However, we found issues with the premises and environment, such as cleanliness of communal areas, food storage, and maintenance of the building. These issues were escalated to the management team during our inspection, who took action to rectify the issues.
