What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 17 November 2021 · Last inspected 13 October 2021

Harvlightcare Services is a domiciliary care agency supporting nine people in their own homes at the time of inspection. Inspectors found that people were generally treated with respect, that staff had a caring and friendly approach, and that people were supported to keep choice, control and independence. The report says care plans and risk guidance did not always reflect individual needs, and that calls were not always on time.

Strengths noted
  • Most people and relatives said they received safe care and were protected from abuse, neglect and discrimination
  • Staff were described as caring and friendly, and respectful of privacy and dignity for most people
  • People were supported to make choices and to do as much for themselves as they wanted
  • The registered manager was open, understood their responsibilities, and acted on concerns and complaints
Areas to improve
  • Care plans did not always include details on reducing risks to people's safety or reflect individual needs and preferences
  • Recruitment checks were not fully robust enough to make sure only suitable staff worked at the service
  • Some calls providing personal care were not always timely, and quality assurance systems did not fully prevent these gaps
