About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 29 July 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Pristine Recruitment is a domiciliary care agency providing the regulated activity of personal care to people living in their own homes. At the time of the inspection the service was supporting 15 people.
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
Following the last inspection, two recommendations had been made in relation to recruitment processes and risk management. The service had implemented the required improvements.
