What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 31 March 2023 · Last inspected 20 February 2023

Good Neighbour Care is a home care agency supporting older adults in their own homes. Inspectors spoke with people using the service, who said they were content with their care and would recommend it to others. Staff were described as understanding how to keep people safe, following individual risk plans, and being trained in infection prevention, but oversight was not consistently effective when the registered manager was absent.

Strengths noted
  • People who spoke with inspectors were satisfied with the care they received and would recommend the agency.
  • Staff understood how to protect people from harm and followed risk assessments to support them safely.
  • Staff were recruited through appropriate pre-employment checks, wore protective equipment including face masks, and were trained in infection control.
  • People were supported to make their own choices, with care delivered in the least restrictive way, and care plans addressed their needs and equality characteristics.
Areas to improve
  • Management oversight of the service was not always effective when the registered manager was not available, and inspectors made a recommendation about management cover and leadership.
