Greater Manchester residential home rated 'requires improvement' by CQC for five regulation breaches
King Street is a residential care home providing accommodation and support to people who have a mental health condition and have a learning disability or autism. At the time of the assessment, 2 people were living at King Street.
The CQC said: “The assessment was carried out due to emerging risk.”
Adding: “We assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence, and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.
“We found 5 breaches of the legal regulation relating to safeguarding, safe care and treatment, staff training, person centred care and good governance.”
The CQC did find that safe recruitment processes were in place and staff said they had completed training and were supported in their role. However, due to the complex care needs of people, additional training would be helpful.
Additionally, the CQC found that “People’s records needed further development, clearly reflecting their assessed needs, their involvement and how they wished to be supported in a personalised way.”
People living at King Street had identified to the CQC a “long term wish to live more independently.”
