About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 7 April 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Unicare (London) Limited is a domiciliary care agency. It provides personal care to people living in their own houses and flats in the community. It provides a service to older people and people with a range of physical and sensory disabilities as well as people living with dementia.
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 the inspection the service was providing care and support to 16 people.
What inspectors found
People received safe care from staff who knew them well. There were safeguarding policies in place and the registered manager and staff knew how to identify and report concerns.
There were enough staff available to support people. Staff had the necessary training and experience.
