What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 8 August 2022 · Last inspected 30 June 2022

Inspectors found that staff knew people well, were kind and respectful, and supported people to make choices about their daily lives. Compassionate end of life care was provided in partnership with external health professionals. Some risk assessments, incident recording and quality monitoring were less thorough than they needed to be.

Strengths noted
  • Staff arrived reliably, calls were rarely late, and staff were safely recruited and deployed in sufficient numbers.
  • Medicines were supported safely, people said they felt safe with staff, and good infection control was followed.
  • Staff were kind and respectful, and care plans reflected people's preferences, backgrounds and independence, with people and relatives involved in them.
  • Staff had training and practical shadowing experience, and the service had an appropriate complaints system.
Areas to improve
  • Not all risk assessments included the level of detail that staff could describe in person.
  • Not all accidents and incidents were recorded on the provider's log, so patterns and trends might not be identified.
  • Audit and monitoring systems were not always effective, and inspectors recommended the provider review its governance to catch quality and safety issues.
