About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 29 April 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Careinmyhome Kent is a domiciliary care service that provides care and support to people living in their own houses or flats in the community. At the time of our inspection, 8 people were using 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

The service had safeguarding procedures in place and staff had a clear understanding of these procedures. Appropriate recruitment checks had taken place before staff started work and there were enough staff available to meet people's care and support needs. Risks to people had been assessed to ensure their needs were safely met. The service had procedures in place to reduce the risk of infections. People's medicines were managed safely.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People's care and support needs were assessed before they started using the service. Staff were supported through training and regular supervision. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. People were supported to maintain a healthy balanced diet and had access to health care professionals when they needed them.

People's privacy, dignity and independence was promoted. People and relatives told us staff were kind and caring.

People and relatives spoke positively about the service and said they felt safe. Care records highlighted people's needs and the support required, however care records were inconsistent as there were different formats being used. We have made a recommendation about care planning documentation. The service had a complaints procedure in place. No one at the service was receiving end of life care.

There were systems in place to monitor the quality and safety of the service. There was some feedback about the lack of engagement from the management team. Records did show the service sought the views of people and their relatives. The service worked in partnership with health and social care providers to plan and deliver an effective service.
