At the time of our assessment, 3 people were receiving support with personal care. The service provides support for younger and older adults. Most people using the service were older adults. The provider was previously in breach of the legal regulations in relation to management of medicines, assessing risk and good governance. Improvements were found at this assessment and the provider was no longer in breach of this regulations. 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. People were protected and kept safe through the management of possible risks and the investigation of incidents.

There were enough care workers with the right skills, qualifications and experience. Care workers managed people’s medicines safely. The provider had developed a range of quality assurance processes.

People's experience of the service

Updated 3 January 2025

Relatives told us they felt their family members were safe when they received support in their own home. We received feedback from the relatives of 2 people who were receiving support from the service. Relatives said they felt the care workers provided care in a kind, caring manner while respecting their family member’s privacy and dignity. A relative said, “We are very happy with the care provided and are grateful that [family member] has had such consistent care workers as this is really important for them. [Family member] has built a wonderful relationship with them both and would be lost without them.” People’s needs were assessed before the care provision started and relatives confirmed they were involved in the development and review of their family member’s care plan. Relatives were in regular contact with the registered manager and felt able to raise any questions they have about the care provided.
