We undertook this unannounced inspection on 7 April 2016. The last inspection was completed on 20 June 2013 and the service was meeting the regulations we assessed.

137 Wall Hill Road provides accommodation for up to five people who have a learning disability. At the time of the inspection there were five people living at the home.

The service has a registered manager in place. A registered manager is a person who is registered with The Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibilities for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.

The registered manager and all the staff we spoke with were passionate about providing a service that placed people and their families at the very heart of the service. This was confirmed with us by two health care professionals we spoke with and through speaking with relatives.

New staff to the service completed a comprehensive induction period to ensure that they had the skills and knowledge to support people. Staff received regular training to update their skills and to keep in line with current best practice.

Staff had received training about how to ensure people’s rights were respected and how to safeguard people from abuse. They were able to describe the different types of abuse that may occur and said they would report any issues straight away. This helped to protect people.

Risk assessments and detailed care plans were in place. This helped staff to deliver the care and support that people needed in the way they preferred.

There were robust medication systems in place. Medicines were only given to people by staff who had completed the appropriate training. Regular observations were completed with staff who gave medicine to ensure that they continued to do so in a safe manner.

People were offered appropriate food and fluids to maintain their nutrition. Staff took pride in serving appetising and nutritious food. Those who required prompting or support to eat were assisted by patient and attentive staff which ensured that people’s nutritional needs were met.

Spontaneous activities took place, staff spent quality time with people to give them emotional support and comfort.

Staffing levels were reviewed and adjusted as necessary by the registered manager to meet people’s needs.

Regular checks were completed by the manager and the provider to ensure that care provided was of high quality and was done safely. Equipment used within the home was regularly maintained which meant that it was safe.
