About the service:

This service provides care and support to one person living in a ‘supported living’ setting, so that they can live as independently as possible. The person’s care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate premises used for supported living; this inspection looked at people’s personal care and support.

The person using the service had high support and care needs, requiring staff to be present throughout the day at night.
