Read CQC's assessment overview

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 12 June 2025. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Chantry is a 'care home' that provides care and support to people with a learning disability and autistic people. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. We carried out an onsite assessment which included 2 site visit days on 8 and 10 April 2025 and off-site information gathering. Activity started on 8 April 2025 and ended on 30 April 2025. The inspection was prompted in part by notification of an incident following which a person using the service died. This incident is subject to further investigation by CQC as to whether any regulatory action should be taken. As a result, this inspection did not examine the circumstances of the incident.
However, the information shared with CQC about the incident indicated potential concerns about the management of risk of using equipment. This inspection examined those risks. We found people currently using the service to be in receipt of safe care.
We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ (RS,RC,RC) 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 were being supported in line with this guidance.
There were systems in place where people had a range of opportunities. Communication tools for some people could be further explored and developments in finding ways to communicate better with families were on going.

Safe: Good
Effective: Good
Caring: Good
Responsive: Good
Well-led: Good
