Our current view of the service

Good

Updated 6 March 2026

Date of assessment: 2 April 2026. Caredo Ltd is a care at home service that provided personal care and support to 4 people living in their own homes. We assessed all quality statements from the key questions of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. The service has been rated good.

 

Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where this is provided, we also consider any wider social care provided.

 

Relatives described the care as dependable and staff consistently said people were well cared for and safe. Care plans and electronic care records contained detailed information about people’s routines, preferences, and care needs.

 

The service had processes to make sure all staff were recruited safely and had the necessary checks before starting to work with people.

 

Staff received regular training and access to relevant training courses were available to ensure staff developed their skills. This helped to improve people’s experiences and reduced the risk of harm. Trained staff managed people’s medicines, and the management team completed spot checks to ensure staff competency.

 

The provider had governance systems that ensured people received a reliable service. Families praised the continuity of staff supporting them. Staff visited on time, stayed for their allocated time, and carried out all their required tasks to keep people safe.

 

People's care records and risk assessments reflected people’s needs in their home environment. Quality assurance processes were effective in highlighting issues to ensure improvement continued.

Relatives we spoke with said they were happy with the service provided by Caredo Ltd. Relatives told us family members were supported by reliable staff who visited regularly and knew them well. They said staff arrived on time, treated them kindly and understood their routines. One relative told us, “My [family member] is very happy with their carers and [family member] is in safe hands.”

 

Relatives said they were involved in the development of their family members care plans, were able to review documentation and felt their views were listened to and their feedback was valued. They also praised how courteous and supportive their staff were.

They said staff were kind and knew how to protect their privacy and dignity. One relative commented, “They are fantastic staff and take a lot of worries off my mind.”

 

People and their relatives were involved in decisions about their care. The electronic records system allowed for remote access by relatives, giving them additional involvement and assurance. One relative told us, “We have access to the app which reassures us about the care.”

 

Relatives told us they knew how to make a complaint if needed. They said the management team was in regular contact and had faith any concerns would be addressed immediately.
