Report published 4 December 2025
“We carried out this inspection from 14 November to 1 December 2025. This inspection was prompted by risks we were made aware of in relation to safe care and treatment. The service is a residential care home providing support to younger adults and people with learning disabilities and autistic people. At the time of the inspection there were 8 people living in the home. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. Care Quality Commission (CQC) only inspects where people receive personal care. This means help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do; we also consider any wider social care provided.”
“The provider had a good learning culture and people could raise concerns. Managers investigated incidents thoroughly. People were protected and kept safe. Staff understood and managed risks. Managers made sure staff received training and regular support to maintain good-quality care. People received their medicines as prescribed.”
