The Care Quality Commission has found the quality of care provided by SeeAbility – Fairways Residential Home, Hampshire to be Outstanding following an inspection carried out in July.
SeeAbility Fairways is a home near the centre of Fleet in Hampshire which provides personal care for up to seven people who are blind or partially sighted and who may have learning disabilities.
Inspectors found staff were caring and compassionate and people were being provided with safe, responsive, effective and well-led care. A full report of the inspection has been published today.
Under CQC’s new programme of inspections, all adult social care services are being given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
Deborah Ivanova, Interim Deputy Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care South, said:
"We found that people living at this home and their relatives were overwhelmingly positive about the quality of their care.
"Inspectors found many examples of the home’s management implementing innovative approaches to ensure care was delivered to a high standard.
"The culture of the home was positive, people were treated with kindness, compassion and respect and staff promoted people’s independence and right to privacy.
"The staff were highly committed and provided people with positive care experiences. They ensured people’s care preferences were met and gave people opportunities to try new experiences."
The report on SeeAbility Fairways highlights innovative and creative practice used by staff and a clear commitment by managers to continually improve. All of the people inspectors spoke with were highly complementary about the care and treatment they received and there was a very positive atmosphere within the home.
Staff put people at the heart of the service and encouraged them and their relatives to be fully involved in the planning of care. Staff were highly motivated and flexible which ensured people’s plans were realised so that they had meaningful and enjoyable lives.
