About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 3 January 2024. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Care with Pride is a domiciliary care service providing personal care to people living in their own homes. The service provides support to people living with dementia, older people, younger adults and people living with physical disabilities and sensory impairment. At the time of our inspection there were 28 people using the service.

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 at risk of poor care and support because governance systems were not effective and needed strengthening. Although audits were taking place they had failed to identify the issues we found during our inspection, in relation to: poor staff recruitment practices, an incomplete log of incidents, a lack of personalised care plans, risk assessment and medicine records.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Risks associated with people's care was assessed but the provider needed to ensure risks regarding specific health conditions, were assessed fully and staff had the correct information to care for people in a safe way.

There were enough staff to meet people's care and support needs.

People felt safe with the care and support provided by the service. All staff had received safeguarding training and knew how to protect people from harm.

The services infection prevention and control policies and protocols were being adhered to, ensuring both staff and people using the service were protected from cross contamination.

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.

Staff had completed core training. Observational checks of staff practice were taking place.

Feedback was sought from people and their relatives about the quality of the care, and action taken to improve the service.

The service worked with a wide range of key organisations who were also involved in people's care.

People and relatives were positive about the registered manager. Staff felt supported by the manager who
