About Glyn House

Glyn House is a small residential care home in Blythe Bridge, Stoke-on-Trent, providing care for up to five adults with learning disabilities. Located on Uttoxeter Road in Staffordshire, it is operated by Cygnet Learning Disabilities Midlands Limited and specialises in supporting younger adults with learning disability needs in a domestic setting.

The home was last inspected by the CQC in December 2024 and currently holds a rating of Requires Improvement. This rating reflects areas where the service needs to enhance its practices to meet regulatory standards.

The intimate size of the home means residents receive care in a smaller household environment rather than a larger institutional setting. Prospective residents and their families should review the most recent inspection report for detailed findings about the home's current operations and any specific areas of concern identified by the regulator.

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 17 December 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of assessment 16 October to 12 November 2024. This assessment was carried out in response to concerns raised and due to the service currently being unrated. This is the first assessment for the service. The overall rating for the service is Requires Improvement based on the findings of this inspection. We have found evidence that the provider needs to make improvements regarding incident management, restrictive practices and overall governance. This was a breach of 2 regulations. Please see the Safe and Well led sections of this full report. Glyn house is a care home providing personal care for up to 5 autistic people and people with a learning disability and physical disabilities. At the time of this assessment 4 people were living in the home. 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.
