The service is registered to support younger adults with a learning disability and/ or autism, physical disability, sensory loss and dementia.

Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
