About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 19 May 2021. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Kareplus Swindon is a domiciliary care agency providing care to people in their own homes in the Swindon area. At the time of our inspection three people were receiving the regulated activity of personal care from the service. Not everyone using the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care, which 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 were kept safe from abuse and harm, and staff knew how to report any suspicions concerning abuse. Risk assessments identified how potential risks should be managed to reduce the likelihood of people experiencing harm. Staff understood the risks to people and delivered safe care in accordance with people's support plans. There were enough staff to keep people safe and appropriate arrangements were in place for emergency staff cover. Recruitment processes aimed to ensure only suitable staff were selected to work with people.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Each staff member had received induction and training to enable them to meet people's needs effectively. We saw that supervision meetings for staff were held regularly and staff felt supported by the management to perform their role. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff provided them with care in the least restrictive way possible and acted in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service promoted this practice.
People's care plans were person-centred and focused on what was important to people. Care plans were regularly reviewed and people and their relatives were involved in the reviews. People felt they were treated with kindness and said their privacy and dignity were always respected.
The registered provider had a compliments and complaints policy which was available to people. No complaints had been raised since the service registered in September 2019.
People, their relatives and staff spoke highly of the registered manager; they found them approachable and supportive. Staff were given appropriate responsibility which was continuously monitored and checked by the registered manager. A system to monitor, maintain and improve the quality of the service was in place.
