What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 1 March 2023 · Last inspected 12 October 2022

Inspectors found that the agency provides personal care to a small number of adults in their own homes, with four people using the service at the time. Staff were described as safely recruited, sufficiently available, trained, and aware of how to recognise and report abuse, and medicines were handled safely. Several areas, including risk planning, management oversight, infection prevention and person-centred support, were found to need improvement.

Strengths noted
  • Assessments were in place to identify risks affecting people's lives and wellbeing.
  • Medicines were managed safely, staff were trained to give them, and administration records were checked for accuracy.
  • Staff were recruited through safe processes, and there were enough of them to meet people's assessed needs.
  • Staff understood safeguarding, had completed relevant training, and knew how to raise concerns; they also received ongoing training for their roles.
Areas to improve
  • Risk management plans did not always give staff detailed guidance on how to support people safely, and the registered manager did not always review and monitor the service and care workers effectively.
  • Infection prevention and control practices did not fully take national guidance into account.
  • People were not always supported to have maximum choice and control, and care assessments were not always person-centred; the registered manager's understanding of the Accessible Information Standard was also incomplete.
