What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 1 March 2019 · Last inspected 29 January 2019

Inspectors describe Helping Hands Leeds, a domiciliary personal care agency supporting 49 people aged 65 and over in their own homes, as having good relationships with staff who were seen to treat people with respect and involve them in decisions about their care. Care plans and risk assessments were detailed, medicines were managed safely, and staff were recruited, trained and inducted appropriately. Quality assurance systems were in place and feedback from people and relatives was used to make improvements.

Strengths noted
  • People said staff understood their needs and treated them with dignity and respect, and that their privacy was protected
  • Medicines were managed safely, and the manager acted promptly when record signatures were missed
  • Staff were recruited with appropriate checks, received a comprehensive induction and training, and knew how to recognise and respond to abuse
  • Feedback from people and relatives was sought and used to improve the service
Areas to improve
  • Not all staff had been trained to support people at the end of their life, though action was taken during the inspection to book them onto training
