Our current view of the service

Good

Updated 3 April 2025

Date of assessment 7 April 2025 to 25 April 2025. 182 Bromham Road is a Care Home and specialist service that supports autistic people or people living with a learning disability. There were 5 people living at the service at the time of our assessment.

We 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.'

Although we have rated this service ‘good’ overall there were areas that needed improvement. People's health and safety were not always well assessed in care plans and risk assessments. Some improvements were needed to improve the safety of the environment. Governance systems had not identified these areas of concern prior to our inspection. However, the provider responded immediately and resolved these areas before the end of our inspection.

Medicines were managed safely. Staff understood the risks people could experience and supported them to monitor their health. Staff were supported and received regular supervision. People's communication needs were assessed and met. Staff promoted people's privacy and dignity. People were protected from the risk of abuse. A staff member said, “I feel people get person-centred support.”

 

 

People's experience of the service

Updated 3 April 2025

Not all people could speak with us in detail about their experiences. Where this was the case, we also assessed people's experience by speaking with relatives and staff, reviewing people's care records and observing the care and support they received. People’s needs and preferences were met. People’s communication needs were met. People received support from external professionals. People’s independence was promoted, and they were able to maintain relationships with those who were important to them. People had been supported to personalise their rooms. Relatives told us staff treated people kindly, and they could give feedback on people’s care. A relative said, “[Staff] Look after [Person], they take [Person] on holidays, they do put themselves out.”
