About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 10 May 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
HF Trust – London DCA provides personal care and support to people living in their own home as part of a supported living scheme. The service comprises several purpose-built flats (supported living units) where people either have their own self-occupied flats or bedrooms with access to shared kitchen, bathroom and communal living areas.
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. Out of 29 people, 22 people who received personal care were using the service at the time of the inspection.
What inspectors found
Right Support: Systems were in place to monitor and ensure people received their medicines safely. However, we identified some shortfalls which the provider was addressing.
Risks in relation to people's care and welfare were thoroughly assessed. This meant staff had the right guidance to support people safely.
Read the full summary
The service worked with people to plan for when they experienced periods of distress so that their freedoms were restricted only if there was no alternative. 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 supported people to make decisions following best practice in decision-making.
Staff enabled people to access specialist health and social care support in the community.
Right Care: The service had enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe.
Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. The service worked well with other
agencies to do so. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and knew how to apply it.
Staff promoted equality and diversity in their support for people. They understood people's cultural needs and provided culturally appropriate care.
People's care and support plans reflected their range of needs and this promoted their wellbeing and independence.
Right Culture: The service evaluated the quality of support provided to people, involving the person, their families and other professionals as appropriate. Quality assurance systems helped the staff team to monitor the service they provided and promote ongoing learning.
Staff knew and understood people well and were responsive to their individual needs. This meant people received compassionate and empowering care that was tailored to their needs.
People and those important to them were involved in planning their care.
