Care was described as kind, flexible and respectful of privacy, and the service helped some people receive end of life care at home. Written guidance for visits arranged at short notice needs strengthening.

- The manager gives practical support to less experienced colleagues to help them build their abilities.
- Recruitment and induction arrangements have improved, which helps the service deliver safe care.
- Staff understand how to recognise and report abuse, and medicines support encourages people's independence.
- There are no reliable checks in place to confirm that staff competence is developing and being applied in practice.
- The quality and detail of care plans is uneven, particularly where help is arranged at short notice, and personalised written guidance is needed for everyone.
- Some management systems introduced to sustain improvements are not yet fully embedded across the service.
