About Little Ingestre House

Little Ingestre House is a residential care home in Staffordshire, providing accommodation and personal care for people with physical or learning disabilities. Further details on the service can be found in the CQC findings below.

This residential care home provides accommodation and personal care for up to 15 people across two floors, with 12 residents having physical or learning disabilities at the time of inspection. The service has not been developed in line with best practice guidance that promotes meaningful lives for people with learning disabilities and autism, including control, choice, and independence. The home currently does not deliver the person-centred, planned and co-ordinated support needed to help residents achieve the best possible outcomes and live as full a life as possible.
