Inspection history

PublishedOverallChangeTransitionAI summary
2022-10-26Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementCopper Beeches Lodge received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because the service failed to provide person-centred care that maximises choice, control and independence for people with learning disabilities. The model of care was institutional and group-focused rather than tailored to individuals, with inadequate staffing levels, insufficient staff training, and governance systems that did not focus on best practice guidance. Leadership had not embedded a culture that supports people to live meaningful, independent lives in the community.
