What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 13 June 2023 · Last inspected 25 May 2023

Inspectors found that the extra care service in Thame supports 15 people receiving personal care in their own flats, with care plans built around each person's priorities and reviewed with them. Staff were described as trained, supervised and aware of how to raise concerns, and people, relatives and staff spoke positively about managers as approachable. Some people and relatives felt anxious after the provider changed in 2022 without consultation, but most have since settled, partly because many staff stayed on.

Strengths noted
  • Staff knew how to recognise and report concerns about people's safety, and the service had systems to investigate them.
  • Risk assessments and support plans guided safe care, and medicines were managed appropriately with accurate records.
  • Staff received an induction and training, and regular supervision and spot checks, and said they felt supported by the registered manager.
  • Care plans were person-centred and regularly reviewed with people involved, and managers were described as approachable and supportive.
Areas to improve
  • The change of provider in April 2022 was made without consultation, which caused some anxiety for people and their relatives.
