About the servicePeachment Place is registered to provide personal care to people living in 'extra care' housing. The service supports a range of people of different age groups and varied support needs. Extra care housing is purpose-built or adapted single households in a shared site or building. People's care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate premises used for extra care housing; this inspection only looked at people's personal care service. Not everyone who used the service received personal care.
CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of our inspection, there were 12 people receiving personal care.

Systems were in place to ensure people were safeguarded from abuse. Risks to people were assessed, monitored and managed. The provider worked well with other health care professionals supporting people to live a healthy life. Staff were well trained and had regular meetings.
Staff provided care and support in a caring and meaningful way. They knew the people who used the service very well and had built up kind and compassionate relationships with them. People and relatives, where appropriate, were involved in the planning of their care and support. People's privacy and dignity was maintained at all times.
Training was tailored to meet people's individual needs and the provider recognised that the on-going development of staff skills, competence and knowledge was central to ensuring high-quality care and support. Staff received regular, useful and engaging supervision from senior staff members. The staff appraisal system ensured all staff were working to the same vision and values as the provider.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
There were systems in place to monitor the quality of the service. There was a range of audits in place to check the quality of service provision.
