What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 23 July 2024 (assessment visit 12 April 2024). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Care 4 U is a domiciliary care agency providing support to people in their own homes. Not everyone using Care 4 U received a regulated activity. CQC only inspects the service being received by people provided with 'personal care' for help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. At the time of the inspection the service was supporting 73 people who were in receipt of personal care. We visited the office on 22 April and 17 May 2024. On 24 April 2024 an expert by experience made telephone calls to 5 people and their relatives. An expert by experience is a person who has personal experience of using or caring for someone who uses this type of care service. We reviewed 7 quality statements in the key question of safe and 6 quality statements in the key question of well-led. For those key questions and quality statements not reviewed at this inspection we have combined the scores for these areas from the last inspection.

People received safe care and were protected from the risk of abuse and harm. People's care was delivered by the appropriate number of staff at the time it was arranged. Their support needs and risks were assessed and care plans provided staff with the information they needed to manage the identified risk. Systems in place ensured people's changing needs were met. Staff were trained and recruited safely. People received their medicines safely and effective infection prevention and control (IPC) practice ensured people were protected from the risk of infectious diseases.

Well-led
Good
Effective governance, and the systems and processes in place ensured the service was well-led. People, their relatives, and staff views were continually sought to ensure the service met their expectations. The service worked in partnership with other professionals and organisations to ensure people continued to receive care that was in line with changing practice. Where improvement was needed managers ensured this was implemented promptly. Minor shortfalls identified at our previous assessment had been addressed. Throughout the assessment process managers and staff were open and transparent with us.
