Woodside

“Date of Assessment: 8 and 9 April 2026. Woodside is registered to provide care and support for up to 4 people. The service provides specialist care for people with a physical disability, some of whom are living with a learning disability and an additional need. There were 4 people living 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 had respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. Safe systems in place meant people were protected from avoidable harm. There were enough staff, who were suitably skilled to provide care. People received their medicines as prescribed and risks to their wellbeing had been identified. Safeguarding procedures were established, and there were opportunities for learning. The service worked with external professionals to ensure they had access to healthcare as required. The service promoted an inclusive environment where everyone was welcomed, valued, and treated with dignity and respect. People were supported to maintain relationships that were important to them and were encouraged to spend time with loved ones. A wide range of meaningful activities was available, tailored to people’s interests, abilities, and aspirations, supporting their emotional wellbeing and quality of life. The service sought to work with their local community and had many established links. Governance systems were in place to ensure oversight. The registered manager and provider told us they were passionate about providing the best level of care possible.”
