Essex Care Consortium - Marks Tey

Essex Care Consortium - Marks Tey, in Essex, is a residential care home for adults with a learning disability, autistic people and those with mental health conditions, supporting up to 13 people. The CQC found people lived in a warm, personalised environment, received good support to access the community, and were cared for by staff who knew them well and had received relevant training.

Previous breaches around consent, staffing and recruitment had been resolved, but inspectors found a continued breach relating to good governance, as new monitoring systems were not yet fully embedded. Care plans also needed more detail on managing risks. The provider has been asked for an action plan to sustain the improvements made.
