About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 4 September 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Angel Healthcare Professionals Ltd is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care and support to people living in their own homes. At the time of this inspection six people were using the service.

What inspectors found

People and their relatives were complimentary about the service and told us it was well led. People received care and support which was safe and personalised to their needs. Staff understood their responsibility to protect people in their care from abuse and report any concerns they had. Risks to people had been assessed, identified and appropriate management plans were in place to minimise the risk of harm. People were supported to take their medicines safely and there were enough staff available to support people's needs. Staff followed appropriate infection control procedures to minimise the risk of infections.

Before people started using the service, their needs were assessed to ensure they could be met. People received care and support from staff who had been supported through training and supervision. People were supported to maintain good health; eat healthily and access healthcare services when required. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

Read the full summary

People were supported by staff who were kind and caring, respected their privacy and dignity and promoted their independence. Staff understood people's diverse needs and supported them in a caring way. People's communication needs had been assessed and met. People were supported to participate in activities that interested them and knew how to complain if they were unhappy; however, people told us they had nothing to complain about at this time.

The service had an effective system in place to assess and monitor the quality of the care and worked in partnership with key organisations to plan and deliver an effective service. People and their relatives' views had been sought and their feedback had been used to improve the quality of care and support provided.
