What inspectors found
Right Support: People living at Agility Care were kept safe. Care plans and risks assessments were effective in keeping people safe and free from harm. We have made a recommendation around the provider's management of analysing accidents and incidents. The home met people's individual needs and promoted people's independence as much as possible, such as accessing the local community, shopping, household chores and visits to and from family and friends. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Care: People received care from staff who were patient, kind and passionate about their roles and determined to make a difference to people's daily lives. Staff knew how to safeguard people and how to recognise and report potential abuse. People had their own care plans providing detailed guidance on how they wished to be supported. People were supported to make choices about what to eat and drink and were involved with the weekly menu planning.
Right Culture: People were supported by staff who had been recruited safely, were trained to carry out their roles effectively and who understood people's individual care and support needs. Quality assurance audits were undertaken to monitor the quality of the service. People and relatives were given the opportunity to provide feedback on how the service could be improved and things which were working well or not so well to enable the registered manager to make improvements where possible. Staff told us they felt supported in their roles and were able to speak up freely and openly.
