About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 23 September 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
SeaShell (Epping Forest & Harlow) provides personal care and support to people who require assistance in their own home. At the time of our inspection nine people were being supported by the service. 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
We received positive feedback on the service. One person said, ''The registered manager is very kind and considerate and the staff always go above and beyond for us.''
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Care and treatment was planned and delivered in a way that ensured people's safety and welfare. People were cared for and supported by staff who had received appropriate training. There were systems in place to minimise the risk of infection. There were safe medicine procedures for staff to follow.
Staff had a good understanding of people's preference of care, staff promoted people's independence.
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 to eat and drink enough to ensure they maintained a balanced diet. People and their relatives were involved in the planning and review of their care. The registered manager had effective policies to respond to complaints and these were handled well.
