About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 23 October 2020. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

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 and their relatives were positive about the support they received from staff. They told us they felt safe when staff visited and were confident that any concerns would be dealt with promptly. Appropriate numbers of staff were employed to deliver the care and support people required. Where people were supported with medicines, they received support from staff who had received training around this and medicines were managed safely.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Infection prevention measures had been established within the service. Staff had a good understanding of these procedures and people confirmed staff were wearing protective equipment when visiting people in their homes.
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.
The registered manager acted on concerns to ensure people received care which was safe and responsive to their needs. Staff were trained in safeguarding people and protecting them from harm. Any concerns or accidents were reported and acted on.
The registered manager had developed quality assurance systems to monitor the overall quality of the service provided to people. These systems had led to improvements in the quality of the service being provided to people.
