What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 5 July 2019 · Last inspected 6 June 2019

Inspectors rated this domiciliary care service for children, older people and younger adults with learning needs or autism as requires improvement, following a planned inspection in June 2019. People spoke positively about living at home with the support they receive. Staff were described as courteous and respectful, and support for eating, medical attention, infection control, complaints and end-of-life care was judged adequate.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were courteous and respectful, and they promoted people's independence
  • People were supported to eat and drink enough and to get medical help when needed
  • Suitable arrangements were in place to manage complaints and to support people at the end of life
  • There were enough support staff, safe recruitment practices, and good infection prevention and control
Areas to improve
  • People's finances were not managed in a way that protected them from the risk of financial abuse, and this was referred to the local safeguarding authority
  • People were not fully protected from fire risk, and care calls were not organised to make sure people always received the help they needed
  • Support staff lacked some of the training and guidance they needed, and systems to monitor the service were not robust enough
