The Ridgeway, a supported living service for four young people with a range of physical and learning disabilities, was rated 'outstanding by the Care Quality Commission under the CQC's new inspection system. The article looks some of the factors that contribute to the success of the service which aims to put the people it supports at the heart of everything it does: supporting its residents to find employment; planning goals with residents and their families; matching staff and residents who have similar interests; involving residents in the induction of new staff.
