About the service

From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 26 April 2022. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.

About the service Krystal Solutions Limited is a domiciliary care service providing personal care to people living in their own homes. 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. The service was providing personal care to three people at the time of the inspection.

What inspectors found

Staff weren't always recruited safely; employment histories had not been checked. Care plans and risk assessment documents had not been completed accurately and contained information that did not relate to them. There was a potential risk that care workers would not have enough information to support people safely. We saw no evidence the people currently receiving support were at risk and care workers knew the people well.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People and relatives were positive about the service they received from Krystal Solutions. There were enough staff to support people safely; staff had attended training to prepare them for their role and infection control risks were managed. People were protected from abuse; staff had completed training in safeguarding and recognising signs of abuse.

People and relatives told us staff were always kind, treated them with dignity and respect and maintained their privacy. Care workers knew how to support people safely and people told us they felt safe. Staff told us they enjoyed their job. One staff member told us she liked supporting people and seeing the smile on their faces.

The registered manager was committed to providing a high-quality, person centred service and worked in partnership with other professionals, such as the local authority and hospital discharge teams.

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.
