The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 13 July 2026. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

We carried out this inspection from 16 to 29 June 2026. The service is a residential care home providing support to people with a learning disability and autistic people. There were 5 people living in the home at the time of our inspection. We inspected all 33 quality statements. This was the first assessment for this registered 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. Staff were recruited safely and received appropriate training and supervision. Staff were trained to raise and respond to safeguarding concerns both internally and to external agencies. 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.

There was a system in place for responding to concerns or complaints. A dedicated management team led the service which included a registered manager. 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.
