1 Stratton Road

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 24 June 2026. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of Assessment: 20th April 2026. 1 Stratton Road is a care home service providing accommodation and personal care for adults with learning disabilities and autistic people. This inspection was carried out because of the time since the last inspection. The service can support up to 3 people. At the time of the assessment, 3 people were living at the home.

We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. The provider was meeting the expectations set out within ‘Right support, right care, right culture’. This 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.

People were supported to take their medicines safely. Incidents were clearly recorded and reviewed by managers to ensure any learning from incidents was implemented. The provider had successfully worked to reduce restrictions on people and improve their quality of life.

People had support plans which reflected their individual needs. The provider worked with health and social care professionals to ensure people had access to the care they needed. Staff said they could raise any concerns with the management team and were confident action would be taken as a result.

Managers kept clear records of decision-making processes where people did not have capacity to consent to their care and treatment. Information was provided for people in formats which were more accessible for them, and staff were skilled in people’s communication methods. Members of the management team demonstrated they had the skills, knowledge and experience to lead effectively. Governance systems were effective in identifying shortfalls in the service and ensuring improvements were made.
