“This assessment was carried out to follow up on action we told the provider to take at the last inspection.”

“We assessed all quality statements under the Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-Led key questions. This service has been in Special Measures since 6 May 2023. The provider demonstrated improvements that have been made. The service is no longer rated as inadequate overall or in any of the key questions. Therefore, this service is no longer in Special Measures.”

“The inspection team included 2 inspectors, a medicines inspector and 2 Experts by Experience. An Expert by Experience is a person who has personal experience of using or caring for someone who uses this type of care service. We received feedback from the local authority quality monitoring team. During the assessment process, we spoke with people living at the service and their relatives. We observed how people were being cared for and supported.”

“We have 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.”
