Kingswood House

“Date of assessment: 5 May to 21 May 2026. Kingswood House is a care home registered to provide personal care and nursing care. The service primarily supports autistic people or people with a learning disability. The service can support up to 6 people and was supporting 5 people at the time of the assessment. This assessment was comprehensive which means we looked at all the key questions of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. The provider was previously in breach of legal regulations in relation to safe care and treatment of people, safeguarding and good governance. Improvements were found at this assessment, and the provider was no longer in breach of this regulation. This service has been in Special Measures since 3 December 2025. 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. We carried out this inspection to follow up on previous concerns found at the service. 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 most people take for granted. We were assured that the service was operating in line with the guidance due to improvements found during the assessment. We found significant improvements in all areas at this assessment, and the service has been rated good overall. We found some areas such as record keeping and information sharing did still require some improvement however a plan was in place to address these concerns and progress had been made. We found that staff worked safely to support people at the service and received appropriate training, guidance and support. Staff were recruited safely and understood their duties in relation to identifying and reporting safeguarding concerns. People were supported to have choice and control in their day to day lives and incidents at the service had reduced significantly since the last assessment. The staff team were kind and caring and knew the people they supported well. Staff actively contributed their ideas for service improvement. A stable management team was in place at the service, and this had had a positive impact on people, relative and staff. Managers at the service demonstrated an ongoing commitment to service improvement.”
