What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 13 April 2023 · Last inspected 4 April 2023

The service provides personal care, such as help with hygiene and eating, to a small number of people in their own homes. Inspectors found that people and their relatives were pleased with the support, enjoyed the company of familiar carers, and would suggest the service to others. Staff were described as valued and supported by managers, and there were enough of them to meet people's needs.

Strengths noted
  • People said visits happened at the times and for the lengths they expected, usually with carers they already knew.
  • Risks to people were assessed and managed, and staff were recruited carefully and understood how to safeguard people from harm.
  • Medicines were given as prescribed, and infection prevention and control followed current legislation and good practice.
  • Staff sought consent, respected privacy and dignity, and supported people to make their own choices in the least restrictive way.
Areas to improve
  • Inspectors recommended that the registered managers review and strengthen how they monitor the quality and safety of the service.
