What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 6 December 2022 · Last inspected 2 November 2022

Inspectors visited a domiciliary care service providing personal care in people's own homes; at the time there was one person using it. A relative described staff as punctual, polite and respectful, and said care was safe and that staff wore face masks. Inspectors found the person was involved in decisions about their care and was happy with the support, and that staff supported their interests and social activities.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were described as punctual and had not missed a care call
  • Staff were kind, compassionate, polite and respectful toward the person and their family
  • Infection control training and personal protective equipment were in place
  • The registered manager was open and honest, and produced an action plan after the visit
Areas to improve
  • Care plans lacked detail on likes, dislikes and physical and mental health conditions
  • Risk assessments did not cover all aspects of care and lacked clear mitigation guidance for staff
  • Not all staff had up to date core training, and no one had training in supporting people with a learning disability
