Be Caring Liverpool

People and relatives said they felt safe with the staff. One person said, "I am confident that I am safe with the carers who come to see me." Staff were safely recruited by the service, ensuring that only people who were suitable to work with vulnerable adults were employed.

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.

One relative commented, "The care my relative gets is very good and her regular carers really love her and treat her as one of their own." People and relatives told us staff treated them with dignity and respect. Comments included, "They [the staff] always ask if I am happy when they are doing any personal care for me. They are very thoughtful like that" and "The staff all treat [Relative] with the utmost respect and will do anything for him."

People and relatives told us staff involved them in the care planning and review process, ensuring people received support in line with their needs and choices. People's individual communication needs were considered and met by the service. Staff had supported people to learn how to use technology that was new to them which enabled them to keep in touch with loved ones via telephone and/or video calls.
