What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 11 March 2020 · Last inspected 30 January 2020

Bloomcare Ltd is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to people in their own homes; at the time of inspection it was supporting two people. Inspectors heard that people felt safe and that they were supported by a settled group of staff. After the visit, the provider took action to reduce the risks that inspectors identified.

Strengths noted
  • People told inspectors they felt safe with the care they received.
  • People were supported by a steady, consistent team of staff.
  • Staff had completed safeguarding training and knew how to raise concerns.
Areas to improve
  • Medicines were not always managed safely, and some medicines records were missing or incomplete when needed.
  • Checks needed to confirm staff were safely recruited were not always completed, and risks linked to people's health conditions had not been assessed or covered by staff training.
  • Quality monitoring was not effective, and records of staff induction and supervision were not kept, so the provider had limited oversight of training needs.
