About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 13 November 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Libertas Care – 3 The Barley Yard is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to people living in their own homes. At the time of the inspection 49 people were receiving the regulated activity of personal care. Care packages ranged from a few hours a week to live-in-care.

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 were supported by an agency which was well managed and provided a very personalised service to people. The provider was committed to seeking people's views and ensuring on-going improvements to the care people received. People told us staff were always happy and cheerful when they visited them.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People received their care safely from staff who had been well recruited and trained. This helped to minimise the risks of abuse to people. Everyone we spoke with was very happy with the service and said they would recommend it to others who needed support in their home.

People could be confident they would receive their support at the time requested and it would be provided by staff they knew well and felt comfortable with.

People benefited from an on-call system which meant they could speak to a member of the management team any time of the day or night. This meant there was always someone to share concerns with or ask advice from.

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.

People were cared for by staff who were kind and caring and often went out of their way to help them. People felt valued and respected by staff and the provider. People were fully involved in planning their care and continued to be in control of how and when care was provided.
