Our view of the service
Thanet House is a residential care home providing accommodation and support for up to 6 people in 1 adapted building. The service provides support to younger adults and adults with learning disabilities and autism. At the time of our assessment 4 people were using the service. The assessment was carried out by 1 inspector. At the time of our assessment, there was a registered manager in post. We reviewed a range of records. This included people's care and medical records, staff files in relation to recruitment and staff supervision. We also looked at a variety of records relating to the management of the service, including policies and procedures, complaints and building audits. 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. Right Support: People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives, and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible. Right Care: People’s equality and diversity was promoted. Care workers understood people’s cultural needs and provided culturally appropriate care. People received kind and compassionate care. Right Culture: People were supported by care workers who understood best practice in relation to the strengths, impairments, and sensitivities of people with learning disabilities.
