During a routine inspection
We spoke with staff and visited The Pleasance, which is in the Edlington area of Doncaster. The Pleasance is registered with Care Quality Commission (CQC) to provide accommodation for people who require nursing of personal care.
The provider offers a service to two people in the community; however this is an activity based service and does not include personal care. It was the intention of the provider not to develop the personal care service but to concentrate their efforts in developing the residential care services.
The provider informed us that they would however continue to provide a service to the two existing people. We therefore decided to carry out the inspection but we have advised the provider that they do not need to be registered with the CQC if they do not intend to provide personal care.
People who used the service were happy with the support they received. One person said "It's fantastic support, I decide where I would like to go and my support worker takes me. Sometimes it is to watch football or play snooker, anything I want to do."
