Seeds Care Limited

“We carried out this responsive assessment between 16 July 2024 and 13 August 2024. We looked at how Seeds Care Limited assessed and planned for people's care needs, and how they trained and supervised staff to support people according to their needs and preferences. Seeds Care Limited is a supported living service. The service provides support to younger adults, people with mental health needs and people with learning disabilities and those on the autistic spectrum. At the time of our assessment there were 5 people receiving the regulated activity of personal care living in 3 different supported living properties. We spoke with 4 people, 3 relatives and 11 staff during the assessment. We observed care and support in communal areas and reviewed 4 people’s care plans, 3 staff recruitment records as well as general records for the service. These included staff training records, meeting records, policies and procedures and audits. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability 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 services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it. During this assessment we looked at how people were kept safe from potential risks to their safety; how staff were trained and supervised to support people according to their needs and preferences; medicines and the overall management of the service.”
