About the service
Lupin House is a small residential care home providing accommodation and personal care to up to four people.

At the time of our inspection there were four people using the service.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture. 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 Support
The model of care and setting maximised people’s choice and control. People lived the lives they wanted to live and had regular opportunities to pursue social interests and be part of their local community. Staff encouraged people to engage in meaningful activities within the home and promoted people’s independence.
Right Care
Staff promoted people's dignity, privacy and human rights. People were involved in decisions about their care and empowered to make decisions about support they received. Staff used a variety of communication methods to support people to make every day decisions.
Right Culture
The home had a person-centred culture which empowered people to achieve their goals and fulfil their aspirations. Systems were effective in identifying and ensuing people live the life they wanted. Leaders promoted a culture where staff promoted people’s best interests.
People were safeguarded from the risk of abuse and told us they felt safe. There were enough staff to provide safe, compassionate and person-centred care. Risks to people’s physical health and emotional wellbeing were identified, assessed and managed safely and medicines were managed safely. People told us they received high quality care from staff who cared about their wellbeing.
However, systems and processes did not always identify where improvements were needed with record keeping.
