Our current view of the service

Inadequate

Updated 8 February 2024

Date of assessment 22 February to 1 March 2024. We completed this assessment because we had previously rated the service as inadequate following a responsive inspection on 23 September to 6 September 2023 which led to 8 breaches of the regulations, placing the service in special measures, and issuing warning notices to the provider warning them they needed to make significant improvements. At this inspection on 22 February to 1 March 2024 we found only marginal improvements, the provider had not taken effective action and made significant improvements to the quality of the care people received. We found 5 breaches in relation to keeping people safe, protecting people from abuse, not ensuring staff were trained and competent, and poor quality checking to ensure the staff, managers, and the provider was providing a good service to people. The provider was still not following our statutory guidance of Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture (RS,RC,RC). This is a set of known values we assess services for people who are autistic and people who have a learning disability against. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.

People's experience of the service

Updated 8 February 2024

People were unable to communicate in ways which we could understand. So, we spent time at the supported living locations in the communal areas to try and understand people’s experience of the care they received. People looked happy around the staff and the staff were friendly towards people. However, staff did not know how to engage with people, often sitting in silence with them or repeatedly saying the same statement to people. Managers and the provider had made no improvements to the social aspect of people's lives. We found people were not treated as individuals, with staff supporting people to explore their interests, ambitions and independence.
