People's experience of this service
An assessment has been undertaken of a specialist service that is used by autistic people or people with a learning disability. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability 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 model of care and setting maximised people’s choice, control, and independence. People told us they felt safe and appropriately supported. One person said, "I feel safe here because staff bend over backwards to make me feel safe." Care was person-centred and reflective of people's preferences and promoted their independence, interests and dignity, privacy, and human rights. One family member told us, “Our relative is in a fantastic place now. The change in them is remarkable. They radiate happiness and have learned new skills too.” The ethos, values, attitudes and behaviors' of leaders and care staff ensured people lead confident, inclusive, and empowered lives.
