From the latest CQC inspection
- About the service: Thornfield House specialises in providing care and support to people with learning disabilities.
- The service was a large home, bigger than most domestic style properties.
- This is larger than current best practice guidance.
- However. the size of the service having a negative impact on people was mitigated by the building design fitting into the residential area and the other large domestic homes of a similar size.
