A community care home at Padgate, Warrington, has been rated as “Good” in all areas following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
The Community Care Matters Limited property on Anderson Close, Padgate, is a residential care home providing support and personal care for three people.
The bungalow is in a residential area and each person living in the home has their own bedroom and shared a communal lounge and kitchen area. There is a staff office which also provided a room for staff to sleep in when carrying out sleep in shifts.
THE CQC expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ is the guidance CQC follows to make
assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
Inspectors found people were supported in a respectful way by their staff team who knew them well. People participated in activities tailored to their individual needs. Independence was promoted to prevent social isolation, and to ensure people being supported were integrated into the local community.
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.
Staff promoted equality and diversity in their support for people. The service had a consistent staff team with appropriately skilled staff to meet people’s needs and keep them safe. Care was personcentred and positive professional relationships were observed. People felt safe with the support from staff.
All staff including the management team were aware of people’s needs and ensured people were central to support provided. Staff were happy within their role and spoke highly of the people they
supported. Management supported staff development.
