What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 31 March 2020 · Last inspected 24 February 2020

Inspectors found that people receiving personal care in their own flats at this extra care scheme in Ely were generally content with the service and the staff who support them. Staff were described as kind and caring, involving people in their care and respecting their privacy, and care plans were tailored to each person. The report also says that repeated changes of manager over the past year have unsettled both people using the service and the staff team.

Strengths noted
  • Staff are described as kind and caring, involving people in decisions about their care and respecting their privacy.
  • Risks to people are assessed and reduced as far as possible, and there are enough staff to meet people's care needs.
  • Key recruitment checks are carried out before new staff start work, and staff know how medicines should be given.
  • Care plans are person-centred and contain enough detail for staff to know what matters to each person, and staff use protective equipment to help prevent infection.
Areas to improve
  • Staff had not completed training courses they felt would benefit their roles, and there was no oversight to check whether the courses offered by the provider had been taken up.
  • Not all staff felt they received good support from a manager.
  • The service has had at least four changes of manager in the last 12 months, which inspectors found had been unsettling for people and staff, and health professionals raised concerns about its impact.
