What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 22 January 2024 · Last inspected 6 September 2023
Inspectors found that people using Anchusa Care, which provides personal care to older people in their own homes, are central to how the service runs, and that staff build warm, respectful relationships with them and their families. Staff were described as well trained, supported, and careful about risks, infection control, medicines and safeguarding, and the provider was seen as approachable and well run. Improvement was still needed in parts of end of life care.
- Strong person-centred culture, with people and families involved in decisions about their care
- Thorough pre-employment checks, detailed induction and ongoing training for staff
- Safe handling of medicines and good infection control practice
- Clear complaints procedure and a responsive quality monitoring system that led to changes during the inspection
- Some further development is needed in end of life care
