Flexicare Stroud Ltd

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.

Strong leadership had created an exceptionally positive culture within the service. This drove an innovative and creative approach with people at the heart of the service, they received the high standard of care and support expected. Staff in all roles were exceptionally positive and motivated to provide a high standard service and were proud to work for Flexicare.

People received care which was safe, and staff understood how to support people to maintain their safety. People's medicines were administered as expected. The provider checked the suitability of new staff through robust recruitment processes. Care staff used personal protective equipment (PPE) and supported people to reduce the risk of infection.

People received compassionate care and they and their relatives felt respected and valued as individuals. Staff exceeded expectations to ensure people's needs were met and they were comfortable and safe.

People received high quality personalised and innovative care delivered by well trained and highly motivated staff. 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.

People's care had been planned with them and was highly individualised. The service worked closely with health and social care professionals to ensure people's needs were met, particularly where people received care at the end of their life.
