What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 20 September 2022 · Last inspected 15 August 2022

Inspectors visited a domiciliary service supporting 108 people with personal care at the time. Staff were described as thoroughly vetted before starting, warm towards the people they support, and willing to act quickly when someone became unwell. Recent changes to call scheduling were reported to have improved staff timekeeping and consistency, although the report says the service's governance and medicines processes still needed work.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were recruited with appropriate checks, and were kind, caring and positive about their roles.
  • Staff understood people's health needs and responded promptly when they noticed someone was unwell.
  • Staff knew people's dietary needs and supported them at mealtimes in line with their care plans.
  • Newly introduced care plans contained detailed information about people's needs and risks, and staff felt supported and able to raise concerns with managers.
Areas to improve
  • Quality assurance systems and processes were not always effective or in place, and the report identifies a breach of regulation relating to governance.
  • Medicines systems needed further improvement to make sure people received their medicines as prescribed.
  • Some care plan reviews were overdue, so care plans did not always reflect people's current needs.
