What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 12 February 2024 · Last inspected 28 November 2023

The report describes a small domiciliary care agency supporting five adults with dementia, physical disabilities or mental health needs. Inspectors found that the small team knows people well because the same staff support them, and that people and their families are happy with the care. Staff were described as respecting people's dignity, privacy and rights.

Strengths noted
  • Staff know people's needs and preferences well because people are supported by the same familiar workers.
  • Staff have regular safeguarding training and can explain how to spot and report concerns, and the registered manager knows how to respond and which agencies to notify.
  • People are encouraged to stay independent and have a choice over their care, with support given in the least restrictive way.
  • People and their families say they are happy with the care, feel able to raise concerns, and say those concerns are listened to and acted on.
Areas to improve
  • Managerial quality audits were not carried out regularly, including audits of care plans, risk assessments, medicines competency and staff personnel records.
  • Some care plans and risk assessments need improving so that they are consistently tailored to each person.
  • Inspectors recommended that the auditing of staff training records be improved.
