About the service

Howse Garden is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to one older person and a second person, who was in hospital at the time of the inspection.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
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
People could give us limited feedback on their views about the service. They did confirm they were happy with the support they received and liked the staff who visited them. A relative gave us their experiences of the service and were complimentary on how staff dealt with situations and confirmed they provided good consistent care.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Medicines were managed safely. There were safe infection and prevention and control practices (IPC) being followed.
People were supported in line with their support plans which meant risks to people were effectively managed. People's independence was optimised and their privacy respected. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Staff felt supported by the registered manager (who was also the provider). The registered manager had arranged training to enhance staff skills and knowledge. People were supported to shop and prepare their meals; individual dietary preferences were clearly recorded, and people were encouraged to eat healthily. People were supported to access health and social care professionals when needed.
The registered manager had an understanding of their responsibilities and a sound overview of the service. Regular auditing took place to inform where improvements may be required.
