About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 15 February 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Combe Domiciliary Care is a domiciliary care service delivering care and support to people in their own homes living in Millom and surrounding rural areas. At the time of the inspection the provider was supporting approximately 42 people, mainly older adults. The service delivers personal care and also cares for people who may be at the end of life. They also support some people with basic home nursing tasks that have been delegated to them by the community nurses.

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 told us they felt safe. Staff had received suitable training about protecting vulnerable adults. New members of staff had been suitably vetted. Accidents and incidents were responded to appropriately. Team members understood people's needs and had suitable training and experience in their roles. The service employed enough staff to cover the programme of calls in all areas.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
The staff team were aware of their responsibilities under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. 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 practice.
People told us the staff were caring and respectful and made sure confidentiality, privacy and dignity were maintained. Risk assessments and care plans provided detailed guidance for staff. People using the service, or their relatives, as appropriate, had influenced the content. The registered manager ensured the plans reflected the person-centred care that was being delivered. Staff supported people to get health care and staff managed medicines well. The service had good working relationships with health care professionals. Staff supported people to eat well and stay hydrated.
The service had a quality monitoring system and people were asked their views in a number of different ways. Quality assurance was used to support future planning. The registered manager understood how to manage concerns or complaints appropriately. There had been no complaints.
