Key points from CQC's visit
- People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
- We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.
- This service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture.
- We found that people received care which was focused on their support needs and in their best interest with the aim to achieve their personal goals and levels of independence.
