Key points from CQC's visit
- Right Support: Staff supported people to access the local community and engage in activities of their choice.
- However, there was not always sufficient staff to ensure people could access these at a time they wished as staff had to speak with other services to request additional members of staff to facilitate these.
- People were not always supported by staff who knew how to report potential safeguarding concerns.
- People were supported in a safe environment which was well maintained.
Inspected 25 January 2023; report published 10 February 2023; supporting 6 people at the time. From the regulator's own summary (Open Government Licence). Read the full report.
