59 Bury Road is a residential care home providing accommodation and personal care for up to 6 people. The service provides support to people with a learning disability and autistic people. At the time of our assessment there were 5 people using the service. We carried out our on-site assessment on 23 and 26 January 2024. We assessed 12 quality statements. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence, and good access to local communities most people take for granted. Right support, right care, right culture is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements. The service was not able to demonstrate how they were meeting this guidance. During our assessment, we identified 4 breaches of the legal regulations. We found concerns around elements of the governance systems which resulted in a continued breach. At the last inspection there were concerns relating to fire safety and the environment which resulted in a breach. While the provider had addressed these concerns we identified new concerns as potential risks were not always assessed and mitigated resulting in a continued breach of this regulation. New concerns were identified which resulted in people not always being protected from improper treatment by failing to make sure any control or restrictive practices were only used when absolutely necessary. Procedures were not always operated effectively to ensure safe recruitment of staff. Not all new staff had received an induction to ensure they had the skills to work independently. You can find more details of our concerns in the evidence category findings.
