St Oggs

St Oggs provides accommodation and support for up to 21 people with mental health conditions and learning disabilities, with 17 people using the service at inspection. The home consists of one large adapted building and a separate bungalow on the same grounds. The setting is designed to promote independence, choice, and control, with several communal areas allowing people to move freely. Staff discretely identify themselves only when necessary, removing badges when supporting people in the community to maintain a normalized environment.

The service maintains adequate staffing levels at all times to support residents. While staff manage risks to people using the service, inspectors noted that documentation supporting these risk management processes requires improvement. The home's design and integration within regular community settings mean it does not outwardly appear institutional, contributing to residents' ability to live as full a life as possible.
