What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 17 August 2022 · Last inspected 20 July 2022

Inspectors visited a domiciliary care service supporting 19 people in their own homes, and found people were safe, with staff who knew how to spot and report concerns, assess risks, and handle medicines properly. Care workers were described as kind and caring, and people said they felt able to raise concerns with a management team that was seen as available and supportive. The report says the service has improved since an earlier inspection that found a breach of regulations, and that everyone spoken to was satisfied with their care.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were trained and checked for competency in giving medicines, and medicines were managed safely
  • Risks to people's health and safety were assessed, and people's needs were assessed before care began
  • Care workers were praised by people and relatives for being kind and caring
  • The management team was described as supportive, available and committed to a high standard of care
Areas to improve
  • The report notes that the service was found in breach of regulations at its previous inspection, which has since been addressed
