The Grove -6

The Grove-6 is a residential care home providing personal care to seven adults with learning disabilities or autism. Each resident has their own bedroom with access to shared communal areas including a kitchen, bathrooms, and garden. The home is part of a cluster of three services on the same site, though its location away from local amenities and limited public transport access creates some challenges for residents.

Staff provide support that residents and their relatives describe as good, though quality audits have not always been effective in ensuring safety, particularly regarding fire safety procedures. Management does not consistently observe staff performance or provide feedback to improve practice. An additional concern is that staff occasionally provide support to other services on the site, which can impact the care available to residents at The Grove-6.
