What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 7 February 2020 · Last inspected 13 December 2019

Inspectors found that this domiciliary agency, which supports people in their own homes, was going through a change of leadership, with a new manager in post and a registered manager moving to a senior role. Staff described a supportive team and good working relationships, while some people said that late or inconsistent calls and weaker communication had caused disruption in recent months, and others were satisfied with their care.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were recruited safely, trained to recognise abuse, and people said they felt safe.
  • Risks to people were assessed and reviewed regularly, and people were supported to take their medicines safely.
  • People and relatives described staff as caring and kind, and staff were respectful of people's privacy, dignity and homes.
  • The service worked well with health and social care professionals and was building links in the community.
Areas to improve
  • Some people experienced late or inconsistent calls and communication problems, which affected how responsive their care was; the manager had plans to address this.
  • Care plans needed to be more personalised, and a new format was being introduced to improve the information recorded.
  • Systems for reviewing accidents and incidents were still being developed, and some people said they had not recently been asked for feedback about their care.
