The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 22 December 2025. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

We carried out this inspection from 2 December 2025 to 11 December 2025. The service is a residential care home providing support to people with a learning disability and autistic people. There were 6 people living in the home at the time of our inspection. We inspected 11 quality statements.

The provider was previously in breach of the legal regulations in relation to good governance. We inspected to see if improvements had been made. Improvements were found at this inspection, and the provider was no longer in breach of this regulation. Improvements included involving people to manage risk, Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), medicines management and governance processes which were now effective in monitoring and improving the service.

The provider was highly motivated to maintain a high level of care to people. People were protected and kept safe.People’s health conditions and associated risks were assessed and managed safely. Medicines were stored, documented and administered safely. People’s needs were assessed and reviewed. People were supported by staff who treated them with kindness and respected their dignity. Staff ensured people’s care and support met individual needs and preferences. A dedicated management team led the service. Staff were able to raise concerns and told us managers were approachable and supportive.

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 found people received care and support in accordance with the principles of this guidance.
