What inspectors found

Report published 17 November 2023 · Last inspected 12 October 2023

Inspectors found that people using this domiciliary care service felt staff were kind, patient and encouraging, and that staff helped them keep their dignity and independence. The culture was described as positive, with people and staff feeling listened to, supported and well led by the registered manager. However, inspectors raised concerns about reliability, record-keeping, medicines and governance, and the report's overall rating is requires improvement.

Strengths noted
  • People said staff were kind, patient and encouraging, and that they had confidence in them.
  • Staff were described as skilled at protecting people's dignity and supporting their independence.
  • People said they felt able to raise concerns and that they were listened to and involved.
  • Staff said they felt supported and valued, and people spoke positively about the registered manager's accessibility and communication.
Areas to improve
  • People did not always know which staff member would visit or what time to expect them, and visits did not consistently take place at the agreed times.
  • Care records were not consistently accurate or complete, so they could not reliably show the care that had been delivered or that it was person-centred.
  • Medicines administration systems did not ensure people received their medicines consistently and safely, and the provider's systems for managing risk and governance had not worked effectively.
