What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 20 January 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Pathways Care Centre is a supported living service providing personal care to people in their own homes. At the time of the inspection the service was supporting seven people in three properties in the Colchester area which provided single and shared accommodation.

We found the following examples of good practice.

The registered manager had clear oversight of COVID-19 testing and vaccinations for both staff and people being supported by the service.

There was ample stock of personal protective equipment (PPE) and staff had received training in this area.

Action had been taken to familiarise people with PPE and elements forming the COVID-19 testing kit to reduce any anxiety. Information was communicated to people in their preferred way as recorded in their care plan.

Technology had been used to reduce the risk of social isolation, and to promote more effective remote meetings between staff, families and other professionals.

People were supported to receive continued safe visits from their friends and families.
