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

There were sufficient numbers of safely recruited staff available to meet people's needs. People received their care visits at the times they expected, for the length of time agreed, and mostly from staff they were familiar with.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Medicines were managed safely, and staff were appropriately trained. People and their relatives were assured that safe infection control measures were taken by staff such as wearing PPE and following infection control procedures to reduce the risks of infection.

People's support needs were assessed regularly and planned to ensure they received the support they needed. We received positive feedback from people who used the service and relatives about the care provided. People said they felt treated with dignity, respect and had their independence promoted as required.

Staff enabled people 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.

The service was well-led by a management team who were passionate about delivering quality care and achieving the best possible outcomes for people. A relative told us, "The [registered] manager came out and had a chat about our requirements, their aim is to be the best and they have high expectations of the service."
