The Mount Camphill Community is a residential home providing accommodation and personal care for 30 people. The service is split into an independent specialist college for people with learning disabilities that provides education and learning for people aged 16 to 25 to promote and develop their independence. This part of the service runs term time only and currently provides residence for 15 people over 4 houses, 3 of which are on site and another at a short walking distance. The other part of the service provides a supported living provision currently providing personal care for 15 people over 3 houses with 2 on the main site and 1 in the nearby village. We carried out on site assessment activity on 23 January 2024. We identified the following good practice: Supporting people to be independent in all aspects of their day to day lives. People chose their own routines and activities that they wanted to take part in. The care and support staff provided was person centred with staff consistently attentive to people’s needs, providing one to one support when needed. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. ‘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.
