Date of assessment: 13th October to 19th October 2026.
Weaver House is a residential care home supporting up to 6 autistic people and people with a learning disability. The service was registered with us in March 2023, and this is our first assessment of the service. There were 5 people living at the home at the time of our assessment.
We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence, and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. We were assured the service met the principles of ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ and people received safe, person-centred and outcomes focused care and support.
There were enough staff to support people’s needs. Medicines were managed safely, the environment was clean and well maintained and people had access to healthcare and specialist support. Staff supported people to develop independence, maintain relationships and work towards future goals.
Some systems and records needed strengthening. Information about people was not always current or sufficiently detailed, and monitoring arrangements did not always identify when reviews or assessments were overdue. Improvements were also needed to make information accessible and ensure people had meaningful opportunities to influence their care and the running of the service.
The service had experienced several changes in leadership, which had affected staff confidence and stability. There was a new manager in post, who had recently applied to register with us, the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The new manager, supported by senior leaders, had begun addressing the areas identified for improvement. Staff described positive changes, although many of these were relatively new and required further time to become established.
