What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 25 May 2022 · Last inspected 27 April 2022

YourLife (Northampton) is a domiciliary care service supporting five people, mostly older adults and people with dementia, physical disability or sensory impairment, in their own apartments within a shared building. Inspectors found that people felt safe with staff, that risk assessments were kept up to date, and that staff were well supported, trained and had enough time to meet people's needs. Medicines were handled safely, and people were encouraged to take part in their care and in the local community.

Strengths noted
  • People felt safe and had built positive relationships with staff, who understood how to recognise and report abuse
  • Risk assessments were completed and updated regularly, and positive risk taking was supported
  • Staff were well supported, with regular supervision, skills monitoring and checks made before they started work
  • Medicines were managed safely, with people supported to keep their independence where possible
Areas to improve
  • The provider's quality monitoring was not always followed, and manager audits had not consistently picked up gaps or inconsistencies in record keeping
  • The service did not have a registered manager at the time of inspection, although a manager had been recruited and planned to register with the Care Quality Commission
