What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 1 June 2023 · Last inspected 17 May 2023

Inspectors found that people receiving personal care in their own homes were happy with the support they got, and that they and those close to them had a say in planning it. Support workers were described as dependable, and staff knew when to bring in other services or seek advice about someone's health. Some people felt visit times were not always consistent, a point inspectors passed to the registered manager to watch more closely.

Strengths noted
  • People and those who knew them well took part in planning care, and their choices and control were respected.
  • Risks were identified and monitored, incidents were analysed for lessons, and people were protected from abuse.
  • Medicines were managed effectively, and infection control was followed by staff with effective arrangements in place.
  • Audits and regular feedback opportunities helped drive improvement, and the complaints process was found to be effective.
Areas to improve
  • Some people said visit timing was sometimes inconsistent. Inspectors noted that none of these visits were time critical and asked the registered manager to monitor visit times more closely.
