About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 22 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Multicare Service Maylands Building is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to older people, some of whom may be living with dementia. At the time if our inspection there were 10 people using the service.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.

What inspectors found

The provider did not have robust processes in audit, risk assessments or incident management to ensure safe oversight and governance of the service.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

The provider did not have robust safeguarding processes. They had not always ensured staff were safely recruited; we have made a recommendation relating to this. Staff did not always have all the information relating to risks to people. There were enough staff and PPE was used as required.

We received positive feedback about staff from the majority of people and relatives we spoke with. A relative told us, "[Staff] is great at interacting with [person]; listens to their old stories, they repeat them but [staff] remains interested." However, there was room for improvement with promoting people's independence; we have made a recommendation related to this.

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.

People were supported by staff who received an induction and training to meet their needs. Staff ensured people had support with meals and drinks and accessing other services.

People were given information on how to complain and feedback was sought frequently via telephone.

Staff described a positive culture within the service and felt well supported by the registered manager; none of them had any concerns.
