Dimensions The Mulberries

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 5 October 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

The assessment started on 2 September 2024 and ended on 13 September 2024. We carried out an unannounced visit to the service on the 10 September 2024. Dimensions The Mulberries is a care home for up to 7 adults with a learning disability. At the time of our assessment, 6 people were living at the service. The assessment was conducted to follow up on concerns identified at the last inspection. The last rating for this service was Requires Improvement (published 24 October 2023). At the last inspection, we identified breaches of Regulations relating to dignity and respect, safe care and treatment and good governance. During this assessment we found improvements had been made. The provider was no longer in breach of any Regulations. However, we identified some areas where improvements were needed. This included safety within the environment and medicines management. The provider took action to address these concerns immediately and sent us evidence of this. We were assured they had made the necessary improvements. 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. ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ 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.
