What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 14 August 2023 · Last inspected 12 July 2023

Kare Plus Oxford is a domiciliary care agency that provides personal care, such as help with personal hygiene and eating, to people in their own homes. At the time of the July 2023 visit, 15 people were receiving personal care. Inspectors found that staff were kind and caring, that relatives were kept informed of changes, and that staff helped people reach healthcare when needed.

Strengths noted
  • People described staff as kind and caring.
  • Relatives were kept up to date about changes in a person's needs and about incidents or accidents.
  • Staff were supported to access healthcare for people when this was needed.
  • Staff reported feeling supported by the manager.
Areas to improve
  • Risks to people were not always fully assessed, and the steps to reduce harm were not always recorded.
  • Staff training and records did not show that people's specific needs had been adequately covered, and records of injuries and incident investigations were inconsistent.
  • Staff did not always arrive on time or stay the allotted visit length, and people did not always know who was coming to support them.
