Jervaulx Road
Jervaulx Road provides care to adults who have a primary diagnosis of a learning disability. The service is a purpose built, two-storey building, comprising of three separate units interlinked by internal corridors. Currently care and accommodation is provided to a maximum number of eighteen people. Stepping Stones is a six bedded unit in which people are supported to develop their living skills with a view to living independently. People are admitted for an agreed period of time and follow an agreed training programme whilst being assessed and supported by staff. Unit 17B has six beds. Two of the beds are for people who are permanent placements and the other four are for short breaks. Unit 17 C is a six bedded unit which accommodates a maximum number of 6 people on a permanent basis. Since the last inspection the garage at the service has been converted into a self-contained flat (two bedrooms) which can be used to support those people to live independently and who are to move onto independent living. This increases the total number of bedrooms within the service to 20. The registered provider is aware of the need to vary a condition of their registration to enable them to accommodate 20 people. The registered provider has assured us that the self-contained flat will not be used until the variation to registration is agreed.
