About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 30 December 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Homecare For You Bolton is a domiciliary care agency, registered to provide personal care to people of all ages. At the time of inspection, the service was providing support to 180 people across areas in Bolton, Rochdale and Bury.
What inspectors found
People and their relatives reported feeling safe when receiving care. Staff wore PPE appropriately and showed a good understanding of donning and doffing, including how used PPE should be disposed of. Staff reported having access to PPE stock and said this was plentiful. Medication was managed safely, with staff receiving training and the provider carrying out competency checks. Staffing levels had remained manageable despite staff leaving caring roles; the provider had increased hourly rates for carers and recognised the difficulties they faced in recruiting new staff. We recommend the provider continues to try and recruit new staff and promote roles within the care team.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The provider demonstrated assessments relating to people's care were person centred. Risks associated with the provision of people's care were clearly identified and guidance was provided for staff to follow. The provider actively promoted a staff team made up of people from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds; this was done specifically to meet cultural needs of people.
Staff received an induction programme and there were robust systems in place for ongoing training, competency checks and assessments of staff knowledge. When the training manager identified gaps in staff's knowledge a support programme was implemented.
We found there was sufficient audits and oversight systems in place. However, there were areas where increased detail would benefit the providers oversight. The provider had begun to address this before we inspected and was implementing an electronic data system which would increase daily oversight, enable the provider to respond in real time and provide detail for audits to be carried out regularly.
People and relatives felt carers were responsive to their needs and reported that they felt in control of their care. Feedback relating to people, relatives and staff being able to contact the office or on-call, was mixed. Some people reported having no issues contacting the office and some explained they were unable to speak with anyone and concerns were not always followed up. We discussed this with the registered manager following the inspection and they explained they would implement extra on call contact numbers, create a new schedule for on-call that meant two staff members could be contacted and build in checking messages people had left into the daily tasks for co-ordinators. We have recommended that these systems are implemented in a timely manner.
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.
