About Caedmon House

Caedmon House is a residential care home in North Yorkshire, providing accommodation for people with learning disabilities. The findings from the Care Quality Commission's most recent inspection are set out below.

Caedmon House accommodates up to nine people with learning disabilities. At the time of inspection, six people were using the service. The home is larger than typical domestic properties, though its design blends into the residential area without identifying signage indicating it is a care home.

People reported feeling safe and receiving a good service. Risks are well managed, with the provider learning from accidents and incidents to prevent future occurrences. The registered manager and staff understand their safeguarding responsibilities, and arrangements are in place for the safe administration of medicines.

Sufficient staff are on duty to meet people's needs.
