What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 16 June 2021 · Last inspected 12 May 2021

Inspectors found that the five people receiving personal care from this service are supported by a consistent, reliable team who know them well and treat them with dignity, kindness and respect for their independence. Care plans reflect people's routines, preferences and needs. The report says the provider has made improvements since the previous inspection, including to its quality checks and oversight, and is no longer in breach of the regulations.

Strengths noted
  • Rotas are arranged so people see the same team of staff, which helps relationships develop and last.
  • Staff understand safeguarding procedures and know how to raise concerns and report incidents.
  • Medicines support, infection prevention and control and access to personal protective equipment were found to be adequate, and staffing levels and recruitment were judged sufficient.
  • Staff support people with meals and healthcare, and work closely with other professionals to meet health needs.
Areas to improve
  • Conversations with people about their end-of-life wishes were still ongoing, with information recorded at each person's pace, and the manager was seeking training so staff could explore these wishes with people.
