About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 26 May 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Arch Care Services Ltd provides personal care to people living in their own homes. 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. At the time of the inspection there were 65 people receiving support with their personal care.

What inspectors found

Medicines were administered when required and records had clear guidance for staff to follow. Staff had checks undertaken prior to starting work within the service. Staff were familiar with different types of abuse and who to raise concerns with. People and relatives felt the service was safe. Incidents and accidents were recorded including actions taken. People's care plans had risk assessments and guidance for staff to follow should a risk be identified.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Staff had received training in the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). People confirmed staff washed their hands and they used PPE as required. Most people knew their staff well, however on occasions people experienced care delivered by staff who were not familiar to them. Staff felt supported and told us it was a nice place to work. People's views were sought, and people felt able to raise any issues with staff in the office. Not everyone was familiar with who the registered manager was. Audits were in place that checked medicines, care delivery, safeguarding and incidents and accidents. There was provider oversight of these audits.
