About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 11 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
A50 is a domiciliary care agency. It provides nursing and personal care to people living in their own homes. The service provides support to children and older people. At the time of our inspection, the service supported 7 people with conditions such as cerebral palsy, dementia and mobility needs.
What inspectors found
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.
Although training provided for staff was meeting their role expectations, some staff's understanding of the Mental Capacity Act (2005) was limited. Action taken by the provider to address this gap will be reviewed at our next planned inspection.
Read the full summary
The provider had made important improvements since the last inspection to ensure safe and effective care delivery to people. There was a strong leadership at the service with shared responsibilities to support the staff team and monitor the quality of the care provided.
Feedback received from family members was mainly positive and praised the staff team for their caring and kind interactions with people. People's wishes and choices were adhered to with respect and their independence was valued by the staff that supported them.
The service was in the process of updating people's risk assessments to ensure they appropriately assessed the risks associated with people's care. Family members told us that the care provided was safe. Regular staff were provided and they attended the visits on time. People received their medicines as prescribed. The provider followed current best practice guidelines to safely recruit staff and effectively manage risks associated with infection prevention and control (IPC).
Staff felt supported in their role. There were close working relationships with the healthcare professionals who trained staff to meet people's complex support needs. Systems were in place to regularly gather people's and their family members' feedback to support the good care provision.
