What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 9 June 2023 · Last inspected 26 April 2023

Inspectors found that Josben Care Southampton, a domiciliary service supporting older adults including some living with dementia, provides support in people's own homes. Staff were said to know people well, to promote independence, and to recognise changes in needs promptly, with people feeling safe in their care. Record-keeping and governance systems were found not to be effective.

Strengths noted
  • Needs were assessed before care began, and staff completed induction and training to meet people's needs.
  • Staff understood and promoted people's independence, and people's communication needs were assessed and considered.
  • People said they felt safe, and staff knew how to identify and report concerns about abuse.
Areas to improve
  • Records were not always accurate, complete or contemporaneous for each person using the service.
  • People were not always supported to have maximum choice and control, and the least restrictive approach was not consistently applied.
  • Breaches were identified around consent and good governance, and the report calls for improved monitoring systems.
