About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 14 May 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

This domiciliary care service is owned by Archangel Enterprises Limited and is registered to provide personal care to adults within their own homes. The agency offers support primarily to people with a learning disability mainly within the Winsford and Northwich areas of Cheshire. The service is run from an office situated on the outskirts of Winsford. The service provides care and support to both people living in 'supported living' settings and people living in their own home. Supported living settings are designed so that people can live in their own home as independently as possible. 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 visit 57 people were being supported by the service.

What inspectors found

Right Support Improvements were required so everyone receiving support could develop and pursue their interests.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People were supported by staff who had the skills and knowledge to meet their individual needs.

Competent staff supported people to manage their medicines. Medicine care plans clearly described people's individual needs.

People were supported to participate in some activities of their choice. Some people and their relatives did not feel they had enough opportunities to undertake activities of their choice.

People were supported with their communication. Staff understood and supported people with their individual communication styles. Information was not consistently made available in accessible formats, such as, easy read and pictorial.

Staff supported people to make decisions following best practice in decision making. People were offered some daily choices and staff respected people's views.

Right Care Risks associated to people's care and choices were set out in their care records, but improvements were

required to ensure all risks were individual to the person, held sufficient detail and were regularly reviewed.

People were not always supported by a consistent staff team. This was due to a high turnover of staff. Staff and relatives told us this impacted on people's lives.

People received compassionate care from staff they described as kind. Staff respected people's privacy and dignity.

Right Culture Some staff had left recently and the remaining staff team were stretched to ensure sufficient staffing levels were maintained.

Some people and those important to them were not always involved in planning and reviewing their care. The registered manager was working to address this.
