During a routine inspection
Rosebuds Supported Living Ltd support people to live independently in their own homes. The service currently provides personal care and support to 8 people. A supported living service enables people to live independently in their own home and receive care and support.
People's experience of using this service and what we found
We 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.
The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture. However minor improvements were required to staff recruitment files and end of life processes.
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.
Right Care:
There was limited information in the support plans we reviewed relating to people's end of life wishes. We have made a recommendation about end of life wishes.
Care and treatment was planned and delivered in a way which was intended to ensure people's safety and welfare. There were enough staff to meet people's needs. There were systems in place to minimise the risk of infection and to learn lessons from accidents and incidents. Medication was dispensed by staff who had received training to do so and assessed as competent.
Right Culture:
Support focused on quality of life and followed best practice. Staff involved people, their family and other professionals as appropriate to evaluate the quality of support given and obtain feedback to improve people's day to day quality of life. People living at the service made choices and took part in meaningful activities which were part of their planned care and support. Staff supported them to achieve their aspiration and goals.
