What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 17 July 2023 · Last inspected 15 June 2023

Inspectors found that the service, which provided personal care to eight people in their own homes, involved people and their relatives in care planning and reviewed plans regularly. Staff were described as knowing people well, treating them with dignity and respect, and encouraging their independence. Medicines management, mental capacity assessment, and some care planning and recruitment checks were judged to need improvement.

Strengths noted
  • People's needs were assessed before they started with the service, including meet and greets as part of that process.
  • People and relatives were involved in care planning, which was reviewed regularly or when needs changed.
  • Staff were described as treating people with dignity, privacy and respect, and encouraging their independence.
  • Staff had received safeguarding and equality and diversity training, and said they felt confident about reporting concerns.
Areas to improve
  • Medicines were not managed safely, staff were not assessed as competent to support people with medicines, and the medicines policy lacked detail.
  • People's mental capacity had not been assessed, and care plans lacked detail about cognition and understanding, communication needs and end of life wishes.
  • Systems to assess, monitor and improve the service needed to be embedded into practice, and some moving and handling risk assessments and recruitment checks were not robust enough.
