What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 1 April 2020 · Last inspected 24 February 2020
The service provides personal care to people in their own homes across the Sherborne and Wincanton areas. Inspectors found that staff are kind and caring, that visits are reliable and not missed, and that people feel safe with the team. Since the previous inspection, the service has added senior staff and new quality checks, and the report describes it as well led.
- People describe staff as kind and caring, and feedback about how staff approach their work is positive.
- Visits are reliable: people said staff arrive when expected, and there are enough staff to cover all planned visits.
- Medicines are managed safely, with staff trained in administration and their competence assessed, and staff receive supervision and observed competency checks.
- Improvements have been made since the last inspection, including new senior posts, new quality monitoring systems, and an out-of-hours service with a contingency plan for bad weather and staff sickness.
- Mental capacity assessments did not always meet legal requirements. The provider has since reviewed all of them, and inspectors recommended additional training on assessing capacity.
- Some risk assessments did not always reflect the risks to individuals, and information about those risks was not always comprehensive. Inspectors recommended improvements to how risks are reviewed and recorded.
