What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 5 November 2019 · Last inspected 27 September 2019

Inspectors found that people receiving personal care from this Weymouth and West Dorset domiciliary agency felt safe, and described staff as friendly, respectful and attentive. The report says people were supported with choice, privacy, dignity and healthcare access, and that staff were trained and well recruited. Inspectors did find shortfalls in how medicines were managed and in the quality of some risk assessments, and they noted that the provider's own quality checks had not caught these problems.

Strengths noted
  • People said they felt safe and that staff were friendly, respectful and attentive to their needs
  • Choice, control, privacy, dignity and independence were promoted, with support given in the least restrictive way
  • Staff received training on safeguarding and the recruitment checks were thorough
  • Risks linked to people's mobility and other care needs were identified and managed
Areas to improve
  • Medicines management needed improvement
  • Some risk assessments were not tailored to the individual and lacked specific guidance for staff, and risks of providing care in people's own homes had not been assessed or recorded
  • The provider's quality assurance and governance systems did not identify the issues found at this inspection, so a review of their effectiveness was recommended
