Crumble Cottage

“Date of Assessment: 30 September to 6 October 2025. Crumble Cottage is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care for up to 2 people with learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder and who may have mental health needs. At the time of the inspection 2 people were using in the service. We carried out this assessment due to the age of the rating.”

“We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements about services providing support to people with a learning disability and/or autistic people. This service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of ‘Right support, right care, right culture.’ People lived in a family home which integrated well in the community, and they had access to community amenities such as shops and had good access to transport links. People received person-centred care from staff who promoted people’s dignity and privacy. The values, attitudes and behaviours of leaders and care staff ensured people using the service were leading confident, inclusive and empowered lives.”
