What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 24 January 2024 · Last inspected 13 December 2023
Inspectors found that people receiving personal care from this home care service feel known by staff and are involved in decisions about their own support. Staff have an induction, training and supervision, and medicines handling and infection control were found to be safe. The service is rated as requires improvement, mainly because care records and risk information were not always detailed enough to guide staff, and quality checks had not picked this up.
- People and relatives gave positive feedback, and inspectors found staff to be kind and caring.
- People are supported to make their own choices, with the least restrictive approach used where needed.
- Medicines are managed safely, and staff use safe infection control practices.
- The registered manager listens to concerns, promotes an open and person-centred culture, and works well with partner agencies.
- Care documentation needs to better reflect people's personal preferences and aspirations.
- Information available to staff to manage individual risks was found to be insufficient, and management oversight had not identified the gaps.
- Staff competency checks were carried out regularly but were not always recorded, and some minor shortfalls in recruitment practice were found.
