The Orchard

“Date of inspection: 10 September 2026 to 30 September 2026. The inspection of this location was prompted due to the historic rating. The Orchard is a care home registered to provide personal care and accommodation for up 10 people with a learning disability and autistic people. At the time of the inspection, the service was supporting 10 people. The accommodation was provided within a two-storey dwelling which was located on a village style development with other homes lived in by people with care and support needs, which is a campus setting.”

“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. We found people were supported in accordance with this guidance. The provider ensured people were supported to access communities beyond the location and recognised the importance of people having access to a variety of people, facilities and opportunities. For example, visiting shops in the local community, bowling, and outings. The model of care supported people to be independent as they were able to be.”
