Hannahwood Transitions

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 27 November 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

We carried out our unannounced onsite assessment on 6 September 2024. Off site assessment activity started 3 October 2024 and concluded 18 October 2024. This assessment was prompted by information of concern received in relation to staffing, culture, care practise, complaints, whistleblowing and the management of the service. At this assessment we spent time with and spoke with 5 relatives of people living at the service, and 7 members of staff including the registered manager and nominated individual, to help us assess and understand how people’s care needs were being met. We looked at 6 quality statements as part of this assessment. Hannahwood Transitions is a care home for up to 23 people. At the time of our assessment, there were 21 people living at the service. The service specialises in providing care for adults under 65 yrs with support needs around their learning disabilities, mental health conditions, physical disabilities and sensory impairments. This assessment has not changed the overall rating. We have assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guarantees people with a learning disability and autistic people are treated with respect, equality, dignity, are given choices, supported with independence and have good access to local communities that most people take for granted.
