The service has been developed and designed in line with the principles and values that underpin Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. This ensures that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes. The principles reflect the need for people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live meaningful lives that include control, choice, and independence. People using the service receive planned and co-ordinated person-centred support that is appropriate and inclusive for them.
People’s experience of using this service:
The format of the care plans and some policies and procedures did not always consider how information could be presented to consider people's different needs. We have made a recommendation about the accessible communication standards.
Assessments and support plans were in place identifying what was important to people and how people needed to be supported. People’s relatives told us the support people received was centred around the person and that they were involved in any decisions made.
The provider had a complaint process which people were aware of to share any concerns. The service needed to develop end of life care planning. We have made a recommendation about end of life care.
People received safe care. Risk assessments covered all areas of risk and staff knew how to keep people safe from harm. Staff had received training in infection control and had access to personal protective equipment. People were supported to take their medicine in a safe way.
The service applied the principles and values of Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. These ensure that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes that include control, choice, and independence.
The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support by promoting choice and control, independence, and inclusion. People's support focused on them having as many opportunities as possible for them to gain new skills and become more independent.
People received effective care, from a small team of trained staff. People told us they were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and that staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service support this practice.
Staff supported people to maintain a healthy diet, in line with their assessed needs and could access health care if this was needed.
Staff were kind and caring and had developed positive relationships with people. Staff understood the importance of respecting people’s privacy dignity and independence.
The service was well managed. The registered manager was approachable, and people knew them well. Spot checks and audits were being introduced to ensure the quality of the service was maintained.
