During a routine inspection
People also told us they had been given written information about the services the provider offered. One person said, 'I was visited by the manager before the service started and provided with useful information about the agency and the range of services they provided." Another person said "I feel lucky to have found such a good agency, I get on very well with all the staff and they are so kind and caring."
We spoke with five members of staff employed by the agency. The staff told us they enjoyed working for S & S Homecare and always respected people's rights to privacy and dignity when providing care and support. They also told us they helped and encouraged people to retain their independence and provided care and support in line with their agreed care plan.
We found the agency had quality assurance systems in place which monitored the quality of the service provided and ensured compliance with the essential standards of quality and safety.
