Triple M Healthcare ensured care was person-centred and tailored to individual needs. People told us they received care that reflected their preferences and routines. Care plans included personalised details such as daily routines, likes and dislikes, and health needs. Care staff confirmed they used care plans and family input to understand what mattered to people. One person said, “They know how [person] likes their hair brushed and a cup of tea. They talk to them about [person’s] grandchildren, which she loves.”

Staff respected people’s choices, for example adapting care when someone declined a shower by offering an alternative. Records showed consent was sought before tasks and when care was declined this was documented.

Care was consistent and well-coordinated, promoting continuity and safety. People and family members told us they had regular care staff who arrived on time and stayed for the full visit. Staff rotas and visit records confirmed this.

Care plans contained clear instructions for managing health conditions such as epilepsy and diabetes, and care staff were trained in these areas. Care staff said they could access up-to-date information via an electronic app and contact the office if needed. Health and social care professionals told us the registered manager worked collaboratively and responded promptly to advice.
