About Merle Boddy House

Merle Boddy House provides accommodation and personal care for people with a learning disability and autistic people, supporting 8 people at the time of the assessment.
The CQC rated the service inadequate and has taken enforcement action, placing it into special measures. Inspectors found people were not protected from harm and abuse, risks were poorly managed, and health conditions such as constipation went unmonitored. Staff lacked dementia-specific training, incident reporting was inconsistent, and oversight from the provider was insufficient to identify or address these failings, despite some positive feedback from relatives.
