During an inspection looking at part of the service

North Tyneside LD Service, Cedar Tree Court is a supported living service. People live in their own flats and are supported by staff in their day to day activities only when necessary, or when they request help. All the flats are accessed by a communal area, for which they have keys and access codes. Each person has a flat with their own front door and they come and go as they wish. People are responsible for maintaining their own flats and staff clean and maintain communal areas.

The service supports up to 13 people to live as independently as possible. At the time of the inspection there were 13 people living at the service but only one person was receiving support with personal care.

We found the following examples of good practice.

• Communal areas of the service were maintained in a clean and tidy manner.

• All staff had been fully vaccinated, and the provider carried out regular testing to ensure people and staff were kept safe.

• People were supported to make their own decisions about their health and wellbeing but were guided by staff to make them aware of the latest guidance and rules relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
