About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 29 June 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Avondalecare (Kent) Limited is a care at home service providing personal care). The service provides support to people with mental health needs and or who are autistic. At the time of our inspection there were 9 people using the service. 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
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. We considered this guidance as there were people using the service who have a learning disability and or who are autistic.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: The model of care maximised people's choice, control and independence. People were supported to achieve their goals and agreed how to manage any risks with staff. People were supported by a small number of staff they knew well and trusted. Staff checked people had taken their medicines and reminded them if necessary. People were involved in recruiting staff who were of good character and had the skills to meet their needs.
Right Care: Care was person-centred and promoted people's dignity, privacy and human rights. People told us they felt safe with staff. Staff knew how to identify risks of abuse and were confident to raise any concerns. People were supported to understand infection control risks and how to manage them.
Right Culture: The ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of leaders and care staff ensured people using services lead confident, inclusive and empowered lives. Checks the provider completed had improved and any shortfalls were identified and addressed. Staff felt supported by managers who were approachable.
