What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 8 July 2019 · Last inspected 28 May 2019
The report describes a domiciliary care agency that supports people in their own homes, often after an accident or hospital stay, with the aim of helping them live as independently as possible. Inspectors found that staff were kind, caring and respectful of people's privacy and dignity, and that weekly meetings kept care plans and any need for extra health support under review.
- People said staff helped them gain skills and independence, and goals set with them were worked towards and reached.
- Risks were monitored closely, with guidance for staff, and people were referred promptly to other health services when needed.
- Staff were recruited safely, had training and support, and completed a structured induction, and there were enough of them to meet people's needs.
- Staff communicated openly, people's views were sought, and the service was rated good at this inspection, as it was at the previous one.
