What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 1 December 2023 · Last inspected 20 July 2023
Assisted Lives Birmingham provides home-based personal care to a range of people, including older adults, younger adults, children, and people with learning disabilities or autism, and was supporting 22 people at the time of inspection. Inspectors found staff were caring, protected privacy, understood people's individual needs and communication, and helped people make choices, take part in activities, and manage their medicines safely. Some areas of risk management, record-keeping, and quality oversight were found to need improvement.
- Staff were described as caring and treated people with kindness, protecting their privacy and dignity.
- A consistent staff team understood people's individual needs and how each person communicates.
- Staff were trained to recognise and report abuse, knew how to act on it, and there were enough skilled staff to keep people safe.
- People were supported to make choices, take part in activities linked to their care plans, and receive their medicines safely.
- Not all risks linked to people's care had been assessed or reduced, and care plans needed more detail on how to manage them.
- Care records did not always reflect the knowledge staff had about how to support each person, and records of care reviews could be presented more clearly.
- Systems for checking the quality of the service had not always been effective, which inspectors identified as a breach.
