About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 14 December 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Managing Care Limited is a domiciliary care service providing care and support to people in their own homes, the majority in Wandsworth, Tooting and Battersea. At the time of the inspection there were 35 people receiving personal care support. 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
At the last inspection, we found a number of areas that needed addressing. Risks to people were not being managed in a way that kept people safe. Staff supervision were not being done regularly. Some aspects of the quality assurance checks were not thorough enough and in other cases were not being done regularly. The provider had also failed to submit statutory notifications where required. We also made a recommendation about following up when complaints were made. At this inspection, we found improvements had been made in these areas.
People and their relatives were kept safe through appropriate risk management guidelines that were in place, this included the risk of infection and the safe management of medicines. People were supported by care workers who had been safely recruited. People said they felt safe in the presence of care workers. Potential safeguarding allegations were reported and managed appropriately, with any learning from incidents and accidents and complaints shared with relevant organisations.
Read the full summary
Staff received appropriate supervision and training which meant they were able to carry out their roles effectively. People were assessed prior to care being delivered and they were fully involved in planning their care. People's consent to care was taken. Their nutritional and health care needs were being met by the provider.
People told us they were treated with care and respect. They told us that care workers respected their privacy and tried to encourage them to maintain their independence and delivered care in line with their wishes. Care workers cared for people in a person-centred manner and involved them when supporting them, making them feel at ease.
Care plans for people were reviewed regularly which meant they received care that reflected their needs. The provider engaged with people and their relatives, listening when they raised concerns and following up on any actions.
The service was managed well, this was reflected in the feedback we received from people, their relatives and staff. The registered manager was aware of her responsibilities and encouraged an open culture where people's views were heard and acted upon. Quality assurance checks were in place which helped to maintain a good level of service.
Rating at last inspection and update The last rating for this service was Requires Improvement (published 4 December 2018) and there were multiple breaches of regulation. The provider completed an action plan after the last inspection to show what they would do and by when to improve. At this inspection we found improvements had been made and the provider was no longer in breach of regulations.
