CQC: Requires improvementReport published 3 August 2023 · Last inspected 11 May 2023
Inspectors found that people receiving domiciliary care in their own homes were supported with meals, drinks, medicines and healthcare needs, and that people described staff as kind and caring.

Inspectors identified gaps in recruitment checks, staff training and care plan records, and found that the agency's quality checks had not picked up problems seen during the inspection.

- Staff were said to protect people's privacy and dignity, and people described their care as kind and compassionate.
- The agency worked with health professionals, including district nurses, to support people's healthcare needs.
- Staff were sometimes recruited without their references being verified, and recruitment checks were not robust.
