What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 7 July 2021 · Last inspected 21 May 2021

Inspectors found that people in Brighton and Hove were generally content with the care they received, while people in the mid-Sussex areas were unhappy because visits were often late, early or cut short and scheduling did not reflect their needs or preferences. Staff were described as kind and people felt safe, and medicines management and infection control were found to be appropriate. The report says the provider was aware of the problems and had begun making improvements, but its quality checks had not prevented the issues from recurring.

Strengths noted
  • Care workers were described as kind and people said they felt safe
  • Medicines were managed appropriately
  • Staff followed infection prevention and control procedures
  • Staff said they felt supported in their roles and liked working at the service
Areas to improve
  • Visits were often late or early and sometimes cut short, particularly in mid-Sussex
  • Care scheduling did not reflect assessed needs or preferences and did not offer continuity of care
  • Incidents and accidents were not followed up or analysed over time to spot trends
