What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 27 January 2022 · Last inspected 24 November 2021

Inspectors found that the three older people receiving personal care in their own homes were supported by staff who knew them well and treated them considerately. Staff had induction and ongoing training, and care plans were tailored to each person's needs, preferences and communication. Checks and audits were used to monitor quality, and feedback from people and their families was gathered to guide improvements.

Strengths noted
  • Staff knew the people they supported well and understood how best to support them, with care provided in ways that respected each person's culture and background.
  • Risks to people's health and daily care were assessed, and staff were given guidance on how to reduce those risks.
  • Where people needed help with their medicines, this was carried out safely and as prescribed.
  • Recruitment checks were used to confirm staff were suitable to work with vulnerable adults, and there were enough staff to meet people's needs.
