About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 21 May 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

Intrigue Homecare Ltd is a domiciliary care agency, providing a 'supported living' service to people living in their own homes. It provides personal care and support to people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs. People lived in shared houses within three 'supported living' schemes in the towns of Southend and Basildon in Essex. People had their own bedrooms and en-suites and had access to shared communal areas such as kitchens and lounges. At the time of our inspection, six people were using the service.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People's care and housing are provided under separate contractual agreements. CQC does not regulate premises used for supported living. 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

Safe recruitment processes were in place to ensure staff were suitable for their roles. People and their relatives told us they felt the service was safe. Staff had received safeguarding adults from abuse training and knew how to act on any concerns. Risks to people's safety and wellbeing were assessed and monitored. Medicine practices showed people received their medicines as prescribed. Staff carried out infection prevention and control measures to minimise the risk of the spread of infection.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

Staff received induction, training and supervision to carry out their role effectively and safely. People were supported with eating and drinking. The service worked well in partnership with other professionals to ensure people received the health care support they needed.

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 were kind and caring and treated people with dignity and respect. People received personalised care responsive to their individual needs and their independence was promoted.

Quality assurance systems had been developed to monitor the service. Feedback from people and relatives demonstrated they were happy with all aspects of the service.

We expect health and social care providers to guarantee autistic people and people with a learning disability the choices, dignity, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. Right Support, right care, right culture is the statutory guidance which supports CQC to make assessments and judgements about services providing support to people with a learning disability and/or autistic people.

This service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture. People received person centred care which promoted their dignity and rights. There was a positive culture within the service. Staff felt valued and shared the provider's passion and commitment to providing high quality care, empowering people to lead fulfilling lives.
