What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 10 March 2023 · Last inspected 10 February 2023

Inspectors rated this first-time-inspected domiciliary care agency, which provides personal care to 30 people in their own homes, as requiring improvement. Staff were described as kind and caring, with people treated with dignity and supported to keep their independence. Assessments before care starts, staff training and supervision, a complaints process, and people's choice and control were all found to be in place.

Strengths noted
  • People and their relatives consistently told inspectors the service was safe.
  • Staff were kind and caring and supported people's privacy, dignity and independence.
  • Needs were assessed before support began, and staff received regular supervision and ongoing training.
  • Safeguarding systems, safe recruitment, and a process for recording and learning from accidents and incidents were in place.
Areas to improve
  • Risks to people were not always properly assessed or managed, and medicines were not always managed safely.
  • Quality assurance systems were not always robust or effective, and there was no process to check the quality of audits.
  • Care records were not always person-centred, and professional advice was not consistently recorded in care plans.
