This service provides care and support to people living in ‘supported living’ settings, so they can live as independently as possible. People’s care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate premises used for supported living. This assessment looked at people’s personal care and support.
We assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed autistic people and people with a learning disability respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. The provider was following this guidance. They supported people to learn skills, develop their independence and to engage in activities in the local community. Staff understood how individual people communicated and found ways to ensure they could understand and make choices. Staff completed training to help them understand about best practice for supporting people with a learning disability.
People were safely cared for. There were enough staff who were well trained and had the information they needed to support people in a safe way. Staff worked with other professionals to assess, plan for and monitor risks to people’s safety and wellbeing.
There were appropriate systems for responding to complaints, accidents, incidents and safeguarding concerns. Staff understood these. The provider worked with relatives and external professionals to help make sure people were not deprived of their liberty and decisions about their care were made in their best interests and were lawful.
Staff assessed and planned for people’s needs. They monitored their wellbeing and adjusted care in response to changes in people’s needs or wishes. Staff worked with other professionals to assess and meet people’s healthcare needs and to ensure they received the right medicines.
Staff were kind, responsive and knew people well. People were supported to make choices. Staff felt well supported and enjoyed working at the service.
People and their relatives had information about the service and were encouraged to speak up. They had regular contact with the registered manager. There were effective systems for monitoring and improving the quality of the service.
