About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 19 March 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Unique Personnel (UK) Limited Brent is a domiciliary care service that provides personal care and support to people in their own homes, some of whom live with dementia. The Care Quality Commission (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. At the time of our inspection there were 43 people receiving care.

What inspectors found

Systems and processes for overseeing and checking the quality of the service provided to people were not always robust and effective. Shortfalls in record keeping had not been identified by management.

People and relatives were happy with the staff who they told us were kind and caring. The care and support people received was personalised and met their individual needs and preferences.

Read the full summary

People, and where applicable their relatives were fully involved in the assessment, planning and review of their care. People mostly received care from regular care staff who were knowledgeable about their care needs.

People received the support they needed to take their medicines.

People and relatives told us that staff usually arrived on time and always stayed for the duration of the planned call. The agency was flexible and responsive when people needed to change the times of visits.

Staff understood their responsibility to protect people in their care from abuse and report any concerns they had. They knew how to recognise and report any concerns they had about people's safety and welfare.

Systems were in place to make sure there were enough suitable staff to carry out care visits. Staff received the support, training and guidance they needed to provide people with personalised care.

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.

The provider had systems in place to manage and resolve complaints. People and relatives knew how to make a complaint and told us issues to do with the service had been addressed.
