What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 9 March 2022 · Last inspected 25 January 2022

Inspectors found that people generally valued their care workers, who were described as kind, caring and doing a good job, and that support with personal care, medicines and meals was good. Communication and organisation were weaker: some people experienced late or missed visits, and some relatives found it hard to reach the office by phone. The overall rating moved from good to requires improvement, and the provider has an improvement plan in place.

Strengths noted
  • People said the quality of care was generally good and liked their care workers.
  • Support with personal care, medicines and meals was described positively.
  • Staff said managers were responsive and helpful, and inspectors judged the training to be of a good standard.
Areas to improve
  • Some people experienced late or missed visits, including occasions when no care worker arrived, and a few said they missed meals or were upset as a result.
  • Systems for checking that care calls took place were not always effective, because some alerts were missed.
  • Assessment visits before care began had not been carried out for several months, so some risk assessments were missing and some care plans were out of date.
