Lifeways Community Care (Poole)

“Lifeways Community Care (Poole) is a service providing care and support to people in their own homes. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects services where people receive the regulated activity of personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of this inspection, there were 43 people receiving personal care. The inspection took place between 23 January 2026 and 27 January 2026. This was a planned inspection.”

“We 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 considered this guidance as there were people using the service who have a learning disability and or who are autistic.”
