About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 8 June 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
EnhanceAble Living is a domiciliary care agency. It provides a personal care support service to people in their own homes. At the time of inspection, four people were receiving support with personal care from this service.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) only inspects the service being received by people provided with 'personal care'; help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided.

At this inspection monitoring and audit systems identified issues in relation to the quality of care provided by keeping up to date records, including recruitment, medicines administration and spot checks and action taken was clear.
The agency management and leadership were transparent and there was an open culture that was honest and positive. The statement of purpose clearly defined the agency vision and values, that staff understood and followed. Areas of responsibility and accountability were made clear to staff and they were willing to take responsibility and report any concerns they may have, when needed. The agency reviewed service quality and made changes to improve the care and support people received. This was in a way that best suited people. The agency had well-established working partnerships that promoted people's participation and reduced social isolation. Registration requirements were met.

Risks to people using the service and staff were assessed and monitored. The agency reported, investigated and recorded accidents, incidents and safeguarding concerns. Medicines were safely administered, by staff trained to do so.
