About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 26 August 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Sally and Sarah is a domiciliary care agency. The service provides personal care to adults living in their own houses and flats in the community. At the time of our inspection 11 people were using the service.

What inspectors found

People and relatives were happy with the care and support provided. One relative said, "I selected them because they are a small and caring company. The benefit is that we see the same carers. Even when they are off, we have always managed, and they have never let us down."

People were supported by a regular team of staff. Staff were recruited safely. The registered manager ensured staff had the appropriate skills and experience to support people safely.

The provider had systems in place to ensure people were protected from abuse and harm. Staff had completed safeguarding training. Individual and environmental risks were identified and mitigated against. Systems were in place to ensure people would continue to receive support in the event of an emergency. Medicines were managed safely. People's medicine support needs were assessed, enabling people to remain independent.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

The registered manager constantly reflected on the care and support provided. Information was reviewed with lessons learnt cascaded to staff.

An effective quality assurance process to monitor the quality and safety of the service was in place. The provider had an ethos to ensure people received the best care possible. Staff told us they felt supported by the management team. People, relatives and staff were encouraged to offer feedback.
