About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 12 March 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Forestcare is a domiciliary care agency. They provide personal care, occasionally and if needed, as part of their emergency responder service. The responder service includes staff visiting people in emergencies and providing whatever support is indicated, which may include personal care.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
They provide the service from their 24-hour, 365 days a year telecare response centre based in Bracknell. They also offer a range of telecare solutions to individuals to provide support for them in their own homes. This support includes, emergency assistance when someone has a fall and cannot get up; rapid response for an unplanned discharge from hospital; emergency support when another agency has not been able to provide planned support and help when unforeseen circumstances occur where the family has other commitments.
Not everyone using the service receives personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. At the time of this inspection there were 1506 people signed up to the responder service. During the seven months between 1 June 2019 and 31 December 2019 staff visited 263 people in response to an emergency. Out of those visits, personal care was provided 56 times.
