What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 28 June 2019 · Last inspected 11 June 2019

Inspectors found that people using this home care service felt staff were caring, respectful and gave them choices, and that staff understood individual needs and preferences. Visits were reported to be completed as planned, with staff staying the full time and letting people know when they would be late. People felt safe, and the report describes staff as approachable and supportive, with the provider and registered manager seen the same way.

Strengths noted
  • People described staff as kind and respectful, and said they were offered choices about their care
  • Staff were said to know people well, and people were supported to keep as much control over their lives as possible
  • Medicines were managed safely, and people's nutritional and healthcare needs were supported, including through liaison with health professionals
  • Staff received training and support, including opportunities to raise concerns and discuss their development, and people knew how to make a complaint
Areas to improve
  • Care records needed more detail about people's likes and dislikes, life histories and future wishes to fully support person-centred care
  • Inspectors recommended fully implementing the Accessible Information Standard so that people's communication needs are fully met
  • Safe recruitment procedures could not be tested during the inspection because the provider was delivering care personally, and quality monitoring systems were still being developed
