Date of Assessment: 11 February 2026 to 18 February 2026. This service is a Homecare agency, registered to provide personal care for people living in their own homes in the community. Not everyone who used the service received the regulated activity of personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of the assessment there were 3 people receiving the regulated activity.
All required checks had not been made prior to staff starting their roles. Staff did not receive effective training, support, supervision and development. There were no records of staff competency checks or spot checks in place. Policies did not always align with practice, and systems of governance, audit and oversight had not identified or addressed concerns found during the inspection.
Care was organised effectively, with continuity of staff and well‑planned visits that people valued. Staff knew individuals’ needs and preferences well. Safeguarding responsibilities were understood, and people were supported to live safely. Risks relating to people were assessed and managed appropriately. Medicines were managed and administered safely. The provider was committed to providing responsive, personalised care and support. They demonstrated openness and a willingness to improve, including taking action during and after the inspection.
The provider was in breach of the legal regulation relating to fit and proper persons, staffing and governance. We have asked the provider for an action plan in response to the concerns found at this inspection.
