Gowlands

Gowlands provides respite personal care and support for up to nine people with learning disabilities, sensory impairment, physical disability and associated complex needs. The home offers short-term stays to provide respite for people and their families. At the time of inspection, six people were receiving respite care.

The service did not have a registered manager, which is a requirement of their registration. Improvements were required in how the service was led and managed, with inspectors identifying concerns in this area that had not been sustained from the previous inspection rating.
