A HOME for people with learning disabilities has been praised by inspectors for the quality of its care.

Beach House, in Alexandra Road, Poole, was visited by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in May this year, and has been given a 'good' rating in all categories.

The report said the home supported its seven residents in "a personalised way", having a "person centred culture" and "relaxed, friendly" staff.

Manager Sue Eyre said: "I am absolutely thrilled. I am particularly pleased that the CQC acknowledges we have a 'person centred culture' as this is at the heart of everything we set out to achieve.

"It is always good to read that the people we support and their relatives feel so positive about the environment at Beach House."

The home is managed by Craegmoor and is part of the Priory Group.

The inspectors highlighted the fact that residents are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities, such as going out shopping, to a café or for walks, and completing puzzles and drawing books.

They also praised the use of 'Your Voice' meetings which allow residents to have a say on the running of the home.
