“We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about the services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.”

“We found the quality of care provided had improved in all areas and the provider was no longer in breach of any regulations. People received their medicines at the right time and risks to people had been identified and care was planned to keep people safe. There were enough trained and knowledgeable staff to meet people’s needs. Independence and choice were promoted for people and staff supported them to access healthcare advice and support. Effective systems were in place to monitor the quality of care provided and the manager was supportive and ensured learning was identified from incidents and improvements in care were made.”

“This service has been in Special Measures since 23 August 2024. 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.”
