During an inspection looking at part of the service
We do not currently rate independent, standalone, substance misuse services.
- During this inspection, we found that the service had addressed the issues that had previously resulted in regulatory breaches following the October 2016 inspection.
- There was a programme of refurbishment and redecoration underway. The service had professionally cleaned the stained carpets. Three of the flats had carpets replaced and we saw evidence that four more carpets were schedule for replacement in August 2017.
- The provider had appointed a cleaner to ensure the cleanliness of all communal areas and to advise clients with the cleaning of their rooms.
- The provider had repaired the faulty window frames and appointed a maintenance worker, who attended the location on a weekly basis to deal with any issues reported.
- The provider informed the Care Quality Commission of all notifiable incidents.
- Following our last inspection in October 2016, we did not require or recommend any areas for improvement for effective, caring, responsive, or well led. Since that inspection, we have received no information that would cause us to re-inspect these key questions.
