“Date of assessment: From 30 June to 10 July 2026.

The service is registered to support up to 10 people. At the time of this assessment, 9 people were living at the service. Falmouth House is registered for both males and females, but at the time of the assessment only males lived there.”
“The assessment was triggered due to an aged rating, having last been inspected in 2018. Whilst ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance was considered no one at the service had a primary diagnosis of a learning disability or autism and therefore we have not reported on this.”
