About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 14 June 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Next Steps Ltd is registered as a domiciliary care and supported living agency who provide care and support to people living in supported living properties. 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 inspection six people received personal care across five individual supported living properties.

What inspectors found

Right support People received support to develop, flourish and pursue their own interests. People received support with their medicines safely and in the way they preferred. People were supported to have maximum choice and control over their lives. The staff team provided person-centred care which was stimulating and followed people's preferences. Staff enabled people to access and follow up specialist health and social care support in a timely manner.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Right care People were protected from abuse and avoidable harm. People were supported to communicate in the way they preferred. Staff were provided with the training to support people in this area. People's care and support plans were detailed and regularly reviewed and updated. This ensured people received the right care that was responsive to their changing needs. People received care that supported their needs and aspirations, was focused on their quality of life, and followed best practice. Risks associated to people's care and choices were set out in their care records and regularly reviewed. The staff team provided kind, compassionate and effective care and support.

Right culture The companies' ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours were followed by staff in supporting people to be empowered and lead fulfilled lives. People receive good quality care, support and treatment from staff that sufficiently trained and supported in their roles. People and those important to them were involved in planning and reviewing their care. The registered manager promoted an open and welcoming culture. People using the service, relatives and

staff felt valued and supported.
