What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 9 February 2024 · Last inspected 7 December 2023

The service supports people with personal care tasks such as hygiene and eating, in their own homes, and 27 people were using it at the time. Inspectors found that people's views were mixed on whether they got the same care workers for each visit, and the registered manager was acting on this. Staff know how to raise safeguarding concerns, and people are supported to make their own decisions as far as possible.

Strengths noted
  • New care staff receive an induction when they first start work.
  • Role-related training has either been completed or is scheduled.
  • Care workers have been trained in safeguarding and feel confident about reporting concerns.
  • Support is delivered in the least restrictive way possible, with people's choices respected.
Areas to improve
  • Recruitment checks were not thorough enough to confirm that care staff were suitable, and some safety checks were not consistently completed before staff began work.
  • Some care and risk management plans need more detail.
  • The provider's systems and processes were not always effective in identifying where improvements were needed.
