Care @ Rainbow’s End

“Care @ Rainbow's End is a ‘care home’ providing personal care for up to 5 younger adults with a learning disability. At the time of the assessment, the service was supporting 5 people. Care @ Rainbow's End was last rated Inadequate (published 18 July 2023). The report was published following CQC’s old inspection approach using key lines of enquiry (KLOEs), prompts and ratings characteristics. This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). During this assessment we found the service had improved. We carried out our on-site assessment on 16 April 2024. This was an unannounced assessment, which means the provider was not told an assessment was going to be starting beforehand. We assessed a total of 21 quality statements from the safe, effective, and well-led key questions and found areas of good practice. The scores for these areas have been combined with scores based on the key question ratings from the last inspection. This assessment did not cover all parts of our Single Assessment Framework; therefore, we have only updated scores and ratings for those areas which we have assessed. We will carry out future assessments to cover other parts of the Framework and will update our website with our findings.”
