Seaview

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 11 April 2026. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Seaview is a residential care home, registered to provide accommodation, personal care and support for up to 5 people, with a learning disability and/or autism. At the time of our inspection, 4 people were living in the home.

This assessment took place on the 2 March 2026 to 10 of March 2026. We visited the service on 2 March 2026. This assessment was prompted by a review of the information we held about this service. As a result, we undertook a comprehensive assessment to review the key questions of Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-Led. During the assessment, we looked at 33 quality statements. The assessment was unannounced. The inspection team consisted of 1 inspector. Onsite we spoke with the registered manager, 2 staff members, and 2 people living at the service. After our visit to the service, we had feedback from 7 staff, and 2 relatives.

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.

Care was delivered in the least restrictive manner, always prioritising the best interests of those supported. Risks relating to individuals' care were assessed and staff clearly understood their duty to ensure people’s safety. Staff members expressed that they felt appreciated and well-supported by the management team.

The registered manager ensured a positive culture and worked closely with external health and social care professionals and families. Staff were equipped with the necessary training to perform their roles effectively, and robust safeguarding systems were in place to protect individuals from abuse. This proactive approach ensured that the rights and safety of those receiving care were consistently prioritised.
