What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 24 December 2019 · Last inspected 8 November 2019

Inspectors found that people receiving personal care in their own homes were supported by caring and compassionate staff who respected their dignity and independence. Regular care workers helped keep relationships consistent, and people's health needs were assessed and met, with access to healthcare when required. However, most people and relatives raised concerns about call timings and short visits, which the report says reduced the quality of care, although it found no harm had come to people.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were described as caring and compassionate, and they respected people's rights, privacy and independence.
  • People said they felt safe with their care workers, and safeguarding policies were in place to protect them from harm and abuse.
  • Medicines support was provided safely, and staff received a thorough induction and ongoing training that gave them the skills to support people.
  • Support plans were based on holistic assessments, and people were helped to make choices and keep control over their lives.
Areas to improve
  • The provider's systems for monitoring quality and safety were not effective, and they missed issues such as gaps in one care plan and weaknesses in recruitment and complaints procedures.
  • Most people and relatives raised concerns about call times and short calls, and the management reports used to analyse call times and lengths had not been completed.
  • Employment checks for care staff needed strengthening, so that a full employment history is obtained for every staff member.
