About
Abuv & Beyond is a six-bed home in Heckmondwike, Kirklees, West Yorkshire, providing respite care. Its own description says daily life is planned around each person's routines, interests and wellbeing goals, with care kept light enough to leave room for independence. Food is prepared fresh and adapted to individual tastes, cultural traditions and dietary needs, and staff encourage fluids and smaller, more frequent portions when appetite is low.
Families are welcomed and kept updated, and the home encourages shared activities both on site and in the wider community. Faith, culture and personal traditions are described as respected and supported.
The Care Quality Commission rated the home Requires Improvement overall in a report published in 2022. Its key-question ratings are Good for effective, caring and responsive care, and Requires Improvement for safe care and well-led management.
What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 24 February 2022 · Last inspected 9 December 2021
Inspectors found that the agency, which supports people with personal care in their own homes, gave caring and consistent support. People said they felt safe and well cared for, staff knew them well, and visit information was clear. Management was praised, and staff and managers worked together during the pandemic to keep visits on schedule.
- Inspectors found enough staff to meet the service's needs, and people described a consistent group of care workers.
- Infection prevention measures, including the use of protective equipment, were in place, and staff took part in regular COVID-19 testing.
- Staff were described as caring, knew the people they supported, and had clear information about each person's care needs at every visit.
- People's choice and control were respected, and the registered manager kept family and professional roles separate to support an objective approach.
- Recruitment practices were not robust enough, and some recording of COVID-19 testing and medicines was incomplete.
- Care records did not give staff enough specific guidance on people's health needs, the associated risks, or signs of concern.
- Staff training had been completed online, with no face-to-face practical training during the pandemic, and quality checks and recording needed to be more robust.
