St Lukes Care Home

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 28 March 2025. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of Assessment: 27 January to 10 February 2025. We were on site on both of these dates at the service. St Lukes Care Home is a residential care home that is registered to provide care and support to people living in their own homes. The service is registered to support up to 5 people with learning disabilities or mental health needs. At the time of the inspection, 5 people were living at the home. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. Right Support, Right care, Right culture is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements about services providing support to people with a learning disability and/or autistic people.
