What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 4 October 2022 · Last inspected 12 August 2022

Inspectors found that care calls often arrived at times that differed from rotas, which disrupted some people's health appointments and social plans, and that the complaints and escalation process did not work well for people. Care was described as kind and respectful, with people supported to make their own choices, and staff were trained in areas such as medicines and end-of-life care. Many people were unclear who the registered manager was or how to reach them.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were described as kind and treating people with respect and dignity
  • People felt safe, and staff knew how to recognise and report possible abuse
  • Medicines support was given by trained staff with regular competency checks
  • Staff were recruited safely and there were enough staff to cover all calls
Areas to improve
  • Call timings often did not match planned rotas, and the system for staff to report lateness was not working
  • Some care plans lacked risk assessments, and some existing assessments were too general
  • Complaints and concerns were not handled well, and many people did not know who the registered manager was or how to contact them
