About The Old Vicarage
The Old Vicarage is a residential care home in Derbyshire, providing personal care for adults with a learning disability or autistic spectrum disorder. The findings below set out the Care Quality Commission's most recent assessment of the service.
The Old Vicarage is a residential care home providing personal care for up to 10 adults with a learning disability or autistic spectrum disorder, with eight people using the service at inspection. Accommodation consists of accessible single rooms within a large adapted domestic-style house, with communal facilities and level access to a well-kept garden.
The provider's governance arrangements now operate effectively to ensure timely decision-making and risk mitigation for quality and safety. Following breaches identified at the previous inspection in October 2021, remedial measures have been implemented across safe staffing, medicines management, and infection prevention and control. People are protected from harm or abuse when receiving care from staff, and are supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives.
