Voyage (DCA) Doncaster

“Date of assessment: 27 August to 16 September 2025. Voyage (DCA) Doncaster is a supported living service providing personal care and support to adults of all ages with learning disabilities and/or autistic people. This service provides care and support to people living in their own apartments within a supported living service so they can live as independently as possible. People’s care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate premises used for supported living; this inspection looked at people’s personal care and support. Not everyone using the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of this assessment there were 6 people receiving care and support. This was the first assessment of the service and we reviewed all key questions and quality statements. The outcome of this assessment was a rating for the service. 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 most people take for granted.”
