About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 5 April 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Linday is a domiciliary care agency providing the regulated activity of personal care. At the time of our inspection there were 26 people using the service. The service provides support to adults of all ages, people with a learning disability and people with mental health needs.

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

Right Culture: Audit systems in place had identified areas to improve the quality of the service. However, they had not been consistently implemented to maintain those improvements. People's needs and preferences were highlighted in their care plans for staff to follow. However, some care plans lacked detailed instructions for staff to follow regarding certain medical conditions. There were no reported missed calls, however there lacked some consistency from staff to inform people when they were running late. The registered manager understood their responsibilities. People's needs were assessed prior to them receiving care and support from the service.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Right Support: Staff were recruited once they had cleared their security checks. Staff received training to support people safely. People were protected from the risk of abuse because staff knew their legal responsibilities to keep people safe. Risks to people had been assessed and people's care plans had been reviewed and updated. Staff supported people to maintain their health and wellbeing by accessing healthcare services.

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.

Right Care: Staff understood how to promote people's independence and ensured the care they provided treated people with dignity and respect. People were supported to express their views. People's communication

needs had been considered and met. Overall, people's medicines were managed safely. The provider had sufficient infection, prevention and control measures in place and staff had access to a good supply of personal protective equipment.
