What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 17 January 2019 · Last inspected 18 December 2018

Inspectors found that people receiving personal care in their own homes generally felt safe and well supported. Staff were described as kind, respectful and consistent, with people usually seeing the same carers, and inspectors saw evidence of good training, supervision and staff support. Some records and care plans needed to be clearer and more person-centred.

Strengths noted
  • People said staff usually arrived when expected and stayed for the agreed length of visit.
  • Staff understood safeguarding and how to raise concerns, risks were assessed, and medicines were managed safely.
  • People described staff as kind and caring, said their dignity was protected and that staff asked for consent, and survey responses and compliments reflected this.
  • Staff said they felt supported, and feedback from people was gathered and used to make improvements through regular audits.
Areas to improve
  • Staff recruitment records did not clearly show that safe recruitment practices had been followed, and inspectors made a recommendation about this.
  • Care plans reflected people's needs but contained limited person-centred information; the registered manager was aware and had begun updating them.
