The provider always treated people with kindness, empathy and compassion and respected their privacy and dignity. Staff treated colleagues from other organisations with kindness and respect.

Care workers treated people and their colleagues with kindness and respect, and respected people’s right to privacy and dignity. A relative told us, “Yes staff are always kind and treat my relative with respect.” A care worker said, “The person I look after is lovely, and all preferences are documented in [name] care plan, but I ask [name] daily what [name] choice is for that day.”

There were policies, procedures and guidance for care workers outlining the right approach to ensure people’s privacy and dignity.

The provider treated people as individuals and made sure people’s care, support and treatment met people’s needs and preferences. They took account of people’s strengths, abilities, aspirations, culture and unique backgrounds and protected characteristics.

This was achieved by supporting care workers to recognise people as individuals with specific needs, and wishes that were recorded, updated, and reviewed in their care plans. A relative told us, “Because we have regular carers, they have built a great relationship with my relative and really understand each other.”

The provider promoted people’s independence, so people knew their rights and had choice and control over their own care, treatment and wellbeing.

Care workers supported people to exercise their right to independence, choice, and control at differing levels dependant on their healthcare, and dependency needs and mental capacity. People were supported to understand their rights by using different communication techniques, and languages if required and their understanding was regularly reviewed. The systems enabled people to maintain important relationships, access to activities and the local community to promote and support their independence, health, and wellbeing. People were supported to access local shops and other amenities with care worker support. A relative said, “Aspects of the care my relative can do independently they [staff] will encourage him to do.”

The provider listened to and understood people’s needs, views and wishes. Staff responded to people’s needs in the moment and acted to minimise any discomfort, concern or distress.

Care workers said they knew the people they provided a service for well and were aware of when they needed to communicate with the office staff and relatives. A relative said, “They [Staff] do things when we need them to be done and are flexible if things change short notice.”

The provider cared about and promoted the wellbeing of their staff and supported and enabled staff to always deliver person-centred care.

Care workers told us they were happy working for the service, and received good support from the management team, who operated an open-door policy, and made themselves available. There were effective systems, counter checks, and policies and procedures in place to promote and enable staff well-being, which were accessible to them. A care worker said, “The manager is only a phone call away whenever I need support. I enjoy working for the agency.”
