A Care Quality Commission inspection has found that a strictly Orthodox supported living service “requires improvement”, noting that “the provider was not consistently meeting the requirement of the Mental Care Act”.
Fradel Lodge, a Stamford Hill-based facility providing personal care and accommodation for adults with mental or physical health issues, which operates under the aegis of the Agudas Israel Housing Association, was inspected by the CQC in May.
It has a capacity of 36, although the report stated that, at the time of the inspection, there were 21 people receiving care.
The newly published report does praise elements of care at Fradel Lodge, rating it as good in three of the five inspection categories.
