What inspectors found

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 20 June 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

About the service: The Broad Group is registered as a domiciliary care agency providing the regulated activity 'personal care' to people who live in their own homes. At the time of this inspection there was one person using the service.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

CQC only inspects the service being received by people provided with 'personal care'; help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also take into account any wider social care provided.

People's experience of using this service: A person who used the service commented they received the care they needed from staff who were kind and to feel and be as safe as possible within their home. The person valued the same regular staff who supported them to meet their needs at the agreed times and were flexible if changes were required.

The registered manager was reviewing the person's care plans, so they reflected the person's up to date care needs with any potential risks to them to guide staff practices.

Environmental risks were also assessed within the person's home to help avoid any potential accidents to the person who used the service or staff. Staff understood their responsibilities in reducing the spread of infections whilst undertaking their caring roles.

Staff were being recruited safely and there were enough staff to meet the support needs of people living in their own homes. Staff received appropriate training and they told us the training was good and relevant to their role. The registered manager was supported in their role and provided support to staff where they could discuss their ongoing development needs.

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.

The registered manager worked in partnership with health and social care professionals so a person who used the service was supported to remain healthy and well.

A person who used the service enjoyed positive relationships with the staff team and were treated with kindness and respect. The person's independence was promoted by staff who encouraged them, and staff knew their needs and routines which were met and respected.

The provider had a complaints procedure and people knew how to complain and any comments or concerns were listened and acted on.

The registered manager provided consistent management and leadership and had identified areas for improvements. The registered manager was keen to gather people's views and experiences, so they could

develop the service based on these.
