Sesame

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 21 February 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

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. Sesame is a residential care home that provides personal care and support for up to four people living with a learning disability and/or autistic spectrum disorder. Some people also had long-term health conditions and complex communication needs. At the time of this assessment four people were living at the service. We carried out our on-site assessment on 15 December 2023, off site assessment activity started on 06 December 2023 and ended on 05 January 2024. We looked at 5 quality statements; Safeguarding; Involving people to manage risks; Safe and effective staffing; Independence, choice and control and Equity in experiences and outcomes. At our last inspection the service was rated good. At this assessment the service remains good.
