What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 2 October 2023 · Last inspected 21 August 2023

Inspectors found that calls were not always delivered at agreed times, with many people reporting carers arriving within a two-hour window and limited contact from the office. Care plans and risk assessments lacked detail for people with additional health needs, and oversight by the management team was judged insufficient, including weak medicines auditing and missed regulatory notifications. Staff were described as respectful of privacy, rotas were issued to people, and feedback about carers was positive.

Strengths noted
  • Care staff were described as respecting people's privacy and following good infection control practice.
  • Rotas were issued so people knew which carer was due to visit.
  • Feedback about carers from people and relatives was positive.
  • The manager and managing director were open to feedback and willing to share information.
Areas to improve
  • Calls were not always delivered at agreed times, and people were not always told when staff were running late.
  • Care plans and risk assessments were not detailed enough where people had additional health needs or care risks.
  • Management oversight was insufficient, including medicines audits, staff competency checks and the submission of notifications to CQC.
