What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 18 January 2024 · Last inspected 18 December 2023
Inspectors found that everyday care in the domiciliary service and the two extra care schemes was generally respectful, with people's rights promoted, dignity and privacy respected, and people involved in planning their own care. People said staff usually arrived on time and that they were told when delays happened, and staff described enjoying their roles in an open, inclusive culture. Medicines management, record keeping, auditing and governance were found to be inadequate, and a breach relating to good governance was identified, so the service is rated as requiring improvement.
- People's rights were promoted, and they were treated with dignity and privacy.
- People and their relatives said they were involved in care planning, which was reviewed regularly, and that the care met their needs.
- Staff had received induction and mandatory training, and training in equality and diversity.
- The culture was described as open and inclusive, with staff saying they enjoyed their work.
- Medicines were not always managed safely, with weaknesses in recording and in following the provider's policy for 'as required' medicines, and some staff lacked medicine competency assessments.
- Auditing and governance systems were not robust enough to pick up discrepancies, particularly in the two extra care schemes, and a breach relating to good governance was identified.
- Care plans lacked information about people's cognition, mental capacity and end of life wishes, and staff training related to people's specific conditions was limited.
