All Inspections

During a routine inspection

People were supported to make decisions about the way their care and support was provided and staff knew what to do if a person's ability to make decisions changed.

Staff had all the information they needed to support people in the right way. People said staff had provided them with all the care and support they needed with their health and wellbeing. Staff had received training in dealing with an emergency and they told us they were confident about the actions to take if an emergency arose.

Staff commented that the manager was very supportive and approachable and they told us they had been given regular opportunities to discuss their work, training needs and performance.

People had been given information about how to complain in a format they understood. People told us they had had no reason to complain but if they did they knew who to complain to. They said they were confident that their complaint would be listened to and dealt with in the right way.

Staff knew what their responsibilities were for ensuring people's records were properly maintained and kept safe. Records we asked for were quickly located, well maintained, up to date and kept safe.

During a routine inspection

Due to the different ways people who were supported by North West Community Services (Wirral) Limited communicated we were not able to directly ask them their views on the support they received. However we spoke with the relative of a person who used the service, who told us they were happy with the service provided by the agency. They told us that "The staff are absolutely wonderful" and that they were regularly asked for their views on the service.
