The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 22 October 2025. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.
Date of Assessment: 10 to 17 July 2025. The service is a residential care home providing support to adults with a learning disability. This is the first assessment for this service registered since August 2022. The provider had a good learning culture and people could raise concerns. People were protected and kept safe. Staff understood and managed risks. The facilities and equipment met people’s needs, were clean and well-maintained and any risks mitigated. There were enough staff with the right skills, qualifications and experience. Managers made sure staff received training and regular appraisals to maintain high-quality care. Staff managed medicines well and involved people in planning any changes.
We assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.
