The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 18 December 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of assessment: 14 April 2024 to 10 July 2024. We visited the site on 14 and 22 April 2024.. The service provides accommodation and personal care to people with learning disabilities and autistic people. At the time of our assessment there were 11 people living at the service. We carried out this assessment as a response to concerns. We assessed a total of 17 quality statements from the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led key questions. The scores for these areas have been combined with scores based on the key question ratings from the last inspection. We found 7 breaches of regulation in relation to person-centred care, dignity and respect, consent to care, safe care and treatment, safeguarding people and preventing abuse, premises and equipment and governance of the service. 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.
