About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 22 February 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Home Instead Bury St Edmunds is a domiciliary care service providing care and support to people living in their own homes. The service provides support to adults some of whom may be living with dementia, a physical disability or a sensory impairment. At the time of our inspection there were 10 people using the service.

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

People received personalised care from caring staff who had the knowledge and skills to carry out their roles and responsibilities. People and their relatives described staff as lovely, patient and very caring. Staff were punctual and stayed for the agreed amount of time.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Safe recruitment practices ensured that people were supported by staff of suitable character. People and relatives felt safe with staff providing care and support. Safeguarding procedures were followed, and staff knew the signs to look for if they suspected abuse and how to report concerns.

People's needs were assessed before the service began to ensure they could be met by the service. Care plans were written and updated in partnership with people and their relatives. Risks were identified, assessed and appropriate mitigation put in place.

People and relatives told us the service was well-led and they spoke positively of the nominated individual and the registered manager. The culture of the service was open and transparent, and staff told us they felt supported and motivated by managers to provide the best care for people they supported.

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.
