What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 11 March 2025 (assessment visit 1 February 2024). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
YoD Care Services (Oxfordshire) is a domiciliary care service that at the time of this assessment was supporting one person in their own home with a regulated activity of personal care. Not everyone using the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care, which is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided.

We carried out this between assessment 8 March 2024 to 17 April 2024. This was a responsive assessment as there had been concerns raised about the service and how it managed and responded to having a Home Office sponsorship licence.
We looked at how YoD Care Services (Oxfordshire) assessed and planned people’s care, recruited and trained staff and encouraged staff to speak up, worked with other professionals and monitored the service.
The provider's quality assurance systems were not always effective, this meant people could be at risk of harm. We identified that improvements could be made. For example, there was a lack of recording and investigation of some events, such as missed medicines and there was a lack of analysis of the quality assurance audits that were carried out. However, the relative of the person using the service and staff gave mainly positive feedback about the service.
The service is rated Good and until we have assessed more quality statements in Effective, Caring and Responsive the rating for this service remains the same.

Safe
Good
The provider aimed to include staff when making plans for the service and look at where some improvements could be made. However, this could be documented more clearly to show how the provider monitored the learning culture of the service.
People’s records evidenced information such as risk assessments to inform staff on how to support the person safely. We saw there were sufficient numbers of staff, who had been appropriately recruited and trained to carry out their roles effectively.
Systems were in place for staff to know how to report any safeguarding concerns. Improvements needed to be made for the provider to report and record medicine errors and concerns to the local authority.
