What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 30 September 2022 · Last inspected 5 August 2022

Inspectors looked at this domiciliary agency, which provides personal care to people in their own homes, and found it had improved from its previous inadequate rating to requires improvement. People and their families are involved in decisions about care, and staff reported feeling supported by the provider and manager. Inspectors also found gaps in risk documentation, medicines records and how needs are joined up across services.

Strengths noted
  • Staff are recruited in a safe way, and people are protected from abuse.
  • Staff receive regular supervision.
  • Routes exist for staff to log and report incidents involving people.
  • Care is delivered in line with mental capacity principles, with people supported to make their own choices.
Areas to improve
  • Some risk assessments do not contain enough detail to guide staff, and some care plans and risk assessments conflict with each other.
  • Information about people's medicines was not always accurate or kept up to date.
  • Incidents and accidents are not consistently analysed, and the service does not always work in partnership with other agencies to monitor and meet people's needs.
