What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 12 February 2020 · Last inspected 16 January 2020
Inspectors found that people receiving home care from this agency were kept safe, with support tailored to them and responsive to their needs. Staff were described as knowing people's needs well, and the agency's medicines handling, infection control and staff training were judged effective. Inspectors also raised a concern that some health-related care records did not consistently reflect the care being given.
- People said they felt safe, and staff understood safeguarding and how to raise concerns.
- Staffing was judged sufficient, and staff said rotas allowed enough travel time between visits.
- Medicines were managed safely by trained staff, and infection control practices were effective.
- Relatives and staff described the agency as organised and helpful, with a positive, open management culture.
- Some care records about people's health did not always match the care being delivered, and inspectors said they needed to be more individual, consistent and up to date.
- Staff had begun sharing information through a messaging app on their personal phones without the provider making it secure; the registered manager stopped this during the inspection.
