About Max Potential

Max Potential is a residential care home in Bolton providing personal care for people with learning disabilities and autistic individuals. Further details from the Care Quality Commission's most recent inspection are set out below.

Max Potential provides personal care for people with learning disabilities and autistic individuals. The home accommodates four people on a permanent basis. While the provider has processes in place to support people with end-of-life decisions, inspectors found that people's wishes were not always recorded effectively.

The service was recommended to improve its documentation of end-of-life care plans to ensure residents' preferences are clearly captured and respected.
