Vila Homecare

At the time of the inspection, the location did not care for or support anyone with a learning disability or an autistic person. However, we assessed the care provision under Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture, as it is registered as a specialist service for this population group.

People's experience of using this service and what we found Right Support: People were happy with the care and support they received. Continuity of care was promoted as people were supported by a regular team of staff who knew them well. The provider communicated well with people and staff enabled people to access specialist health and social care support when required. 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.

Right Care: People's needs and preferences were assessed prior to receiving the service. People and those important to them were involved in planning their care. Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. People were supported by a kind and compassionate staff team and had their privacy and dignity respected. There were enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. Risk assessments identified and reduced any risks to people and staff.

Right Culture: Feedback from people and their relatives about the way the service was managed was positive and staff told us they were well supported. Effective systems had been in place to monitor the quality and safety of the service and the provider was committed to ongoing improvement in the future. Staff prepared food and drink to meet people's dietary needs and preferences. The provider ensured staff were recruited safely. Any complaints were responded to promptly with actions followed up in a timely way
