Updated 18 September 2025

Dates of assessment: 1 to 13 October 2025. This included 2 onsite visits to the service on 1 and 2 October 2025, one of which was outside of normal working hours. Beckly House is a care home for people specialising in providing care and support to people with learning disabilities. The service can accommodate up to 12 people in an adapted building consisting of 2 units. At the time of the assessment there were 9 people living in the service.
The service demonstrated a clear commitment to the principles of Right support, right care, right culture. People received personalised care that promoted choice, independence, and inclusion. Staff supported individuals in ways that respected their rights and helped them to achieve personal goals and access their communities.
People were supported safely, with detailed and person-centred risk assessments in place. Care plans were regularly reviewed and reflected individual needs and preferences. Staff understood how to support people to manage risks without unnecessarily limiting their independence. Medicines were managed safely, with only minor improvements needed to documentation and no evidence of harm.
The home was clean, safe, and welcoming, with personalised bedrooms and accessible communal areas. Infection prevention and control measures were in place and staff followed appropriate procedures.
There were enough staff on duty to meet people’s needs, including one-to-one support where required. Staff were kind, respectful, and knew people well. They helped individuals maintain relationships, pursue interests, and access the wider community. Staff received robust training and specialist learning relevant to the people they supported.
Leaders were visible and promoted a strong, person-centred culture. Governance systems were effective at identifying improvements, and learning was shared across the provider group. People benefited from staff who felt confident to speak up and advocate for high standards of care.

People and their relatives gave positive feedback about the care and support provided by the service. Relatives consistently told us they felt their loved ones were safe and well supported. One relative shared, “Yes, I do feel [person] is safe,” and another said, “[Person] has a very strong character and if they don’t get what they want, [person] tells staff - they will not be taken advantage of.” This demonstrates that people felt empowered and respected in the service.
There was clear evidence that people were supported to maintain their routines, independence, and engage in activities they enjoyed. A relative told us, “Yes, they take [person] out loads, they know them well and give [person] space to be independent,” highlighting how staff enabled freedom and community involvement, while maintaining appropriate oversight.
Family members felt staff were kind and treated their relatives with dignity and respect. One relative commented, “They are attentive to service users and polite, I have no concerns,” and another described how staff had supported their loved one during an episode of challenging behaviour, saying, “Yes, [person] is supported safely. It’s hard, [person] has challenging behaviour, but staff do well.”
Relatives also described staff as responsive and knowledgeable, noting they received appropriate communication when required. One family member told us, “They dealt with an incident to my satisfaction, I was informed straight away and they acted quickly.”
Overall, relatives felt people were supported by caring and competent staff who promoted safety, choice, and individual wellbeing. Relatives valued the service and shared a general sense of confidence in the care being provided.
