About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 4 March 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Medacs Healthcare PLC is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care. At the time of our inspection there were 93 people using the service. Everyone who used the service, at the time of our inspection, 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
Risks to people's health and safety were assessed but related documentation had not always been completed. Some care records needed to be updated and better organised to make sure staff were using up to date information about people's needs. The registered manager had identified this issue and was addressing it. Staff were recruited safely and the registered manager took immediate action to address an issue we identified in making sure staff, new to the service, followed an effective induction process. Some improvements were needed to make sure required documentation in relation to managing medicines was in place.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Staff knew what to do to make sure people were safe and the service managed safeguarding issues well. Staff felt there were enough of them to meet people's needs safely. People told us they felt safe with staff and were complimentary of the care they received. One person was concerned that not all staff stayed for the correct amount of time.
Systems to audit quality and safety within the service at branch and provider level were in place but needed some improvement to make sure they covered all aspects of the service. Where auditing had identified issues, action had been taken to find the cause and address the issue. The provider used this process to learn lessons for future improvement of the service.
Whilst some people and their relatives told us they had been involved in their care planning, others were not aware of their current care plan or how to access the App used to view their or, where appropriate, their relatives care plan and care records.
Some people told us their opinions of the service were sought but others said not. People and staff felt they were listened to by the management team and some felt communication from them was good. All of the
people we spoke with felt the service was well managed and many said they would recommend it.
