Hylton Grange

During an assessment under our new approach

Hylton Grange is a care home providing accommodation and nursing care to a maximum of 30 younger and older people, including people who may live with a brain acquired injury, learning disability or mental health needs. At the time of inspection there were 12 people living at the service. We spoke with 8 people, 4 relatives and 14 staff members. We reviewed a range of records. This included 8 people's care records and associated medicine records. We looked at 3 staff files in relation to recruitment and staff training. This is the first inspection of the service. Following information of concern received by the CQC, a comprehensive assessment was carried out on 30 July 2024. We assessed the provider against all the quality statements in the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led domains. We carried out our on-site inspection on 30 July 2024, off site assessment activity started on 6 August 2024 and ended on 20 August 2024. ‘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. At this inspection we found the service was 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. Staff spoke very positively about working at the service and the people they cared for. People were the main focus of care delivery, and they received effective care that met their needs. There were sufficient trained staff who worked well with other professionals to ensure people's needs were met. Some improvements were required to medicine management, medicines records and governance to ensure safe and more person-centred care to people.
