What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 9 November 2021 · Last inspected 29 September 2021

Inspectors found that people receiving care in their own homes felt safe with staff, who had safeguarding training and regular training and supervision. Visits were usually on time, and people were told by phone if a visit was delayed. Care plans were described as detailed and person-centred, with people supported to make their own choices, stay independent and take part in activities, and staff praised the registered manager and said they felt supported.

Strengths noted
  • Staff were trained to safeguard people, and individual risks were assessed, with care plans giving staff what they needed to manage them.
  • Staff had regular training and supervision, and infection control training, and said protective equipment was readily available.
  • Care plans were detailed and person-centred, cultural and religious needs were met, and people's privacy and dignity were respected.
  • Quality audits and regular feedback from people, relatives and staff were used to monitor the standard of care.
Areas to improve
  • People's end of life wishes were generally discussed, but they were not documented in their care plans, and inspectors made a recommendation about this.
