The Grange

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 23 November 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

The Grange Care Home Physical Disabilities is registered to provide care and support for up to 27 people. The home specialises in care and support for adults with learning disabilities, physical challenges and autistic people. At the time of this assessment, there were 25 people living at the home. This was a planned assessment to check the progress of improvements implemented following our last inspection where breaches of regulation were found. This assessment took place between 12 November and 14 November 2024. We found significant improvements had been made, embedded and sustained. Therefore, the provider was no longer in breach of regulations. Risks to people had been identified, assessed and reduced, with their involvement. Risks from the environment were assessed and utility checks were in date. People told us they were safe, and staff worked in ways to maintain their safety. Safeguarding processes were robust. People received their medicines as prescribed, and systems were in place to ensure care needs were known when moving through services. Lessons were learnt from events which took place, and the learning was shared. Staff felt supported and were proud to work with people to ensure they lived their life the way they wanted to. The culture of the home and staff approach was one of choice for people, in all aspects of their lives. Staff worked to ensure people had the same opportunities and supported them where needed to voice their views. Governance systems were multi-layered to ensure leadership was visible and to have improved oversight. Health and social care professionals were positive about their working relationship with the home. The registered manager told us they were confident in their team and felt supported by the provider.
