The well-led key question was rated as requiring improvement. The agency states that its aim is to deliver care that protects dignity, safety and independence.

What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 6 June 2019 · Last inspected 2 May 2019

Inspectors found that people receiving personal care in their own homes from this family-run service felt safe, and described staff as caring, kind and familiar with their needs. Staff were said to support people consistently and in the ways they preferred, while encouraging independence and choice. Overall, people were very satisfied with the care they received.

Strengths noted
  • Staff recruitment procedures were found to ensure staff were safely recruited.
  • Medicines were managed safely, and people received them as prescribed.
  • People's needs were assessed before they started, and staff were trained to meet those needs, with detailed care plans guiding personalised support.
  • People were supported to access healthcare professionals when needed, and to keep choice and control over their lives with the least restrictive approach.
Areas to improve
  • Some referrals to the safeguarding team were not always notified to the regulator in a timely way, which limited its ability to monitor the service.
