About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 31 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

EPIC homecare Limited (hereafter called EPIC) is a domiciliary care agency which provides support and personal care to people living in their own home. 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. At the time of our inspection 19 people were receiving a regulated activity from the service.

What inspectors found

People told us they felt safe, and staff knew what actions to take to keep people safe. There were safe recruitment processes in place and adequate numbers of staff with the appropriate skills and experience to meet people's needs. Staff received training and their competency was regularly checked to ensure people received safe effective care. Staff followed infection control guidance and had access to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People's care and support was planned with them, and risk assessments reflected people's needs. People's medicine administration records were up to date and were regularly reviewed to ensure people received their medicines as prescribed. People were supported by staff who were kind and caring and knew people's choices and preferences.

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.

Staff understood their roles and responsibilities and felt confident in their role. Staff liaised with other health and social care providers to ensure people's health and care needs were met.

The provider had governance processes in place to oversee the quality of care provided. People were asked for their feedback about the quality of service and this was used to make improvements.
