About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 12 July 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Nightingales Homecare is a domiciliary care agency. At the time of our inspection, the service was providing care to 160 people who were living in their own homes. 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
There were processes in place to monitor the safety and quality of the service. Medicines were managed in line with good practice guidance.Staff assessed risks to people's health, safety and wellbeing and put plans in place to manage these risks.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People received support from a regular team of staff which meant care was consistent. People's calls were usually on time or staff called if they were going to be late. The provider monitored care staff attendance at calls using electronic call monitoring.
People and relatives told us staff were kind and caring in their approach. People told us staff communicated well with them and acted in an open and transparent way.
Care plans needed to be more person-centred to provide staff with the information they needed to provide care and support in a way that met people's needs and preferences. The service arranged to gather this information during the inspection. People felt confident to raise any complaints they might have. We saw complaints were identified, investigated and used to improve the service.
The management team had the knowledge and experience to operate the service safely and effectively. They demonstrated a good understanding of all aspects of managing the service.There was a positive culture where staff and management took pride in the care and support that they provided. The service had a registered manager in post at the time of our inspection.
The service met the characteristics of good in all areas. More information is in the full report.
