Background to this inspection

Updated 15 January 2020

The inspection

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (the Act) as part of our regulatory functions. We checked whether the provider was meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Act. We looked at the overall quality of the service and provided a rating for the service under the Care Act 2014.

Inspection team

This inspection was completed by one inspector.

Service and service type

This service is a domiciliary care agency. It provides personal care to people living in their own houses and flats. The service had a manager registered with the Care Quality Commission. This means that they and the provider are legally responsible for how the service is run and for the quality and safety of the care provided.

Notice of inspection

We gave the provider 48 hours' notice of the inspection. This was because it is a small service and we needed to be sure that the provider or registered manager would be in the office to support the inspection.

Inspection activity started on 13 November 2019 and ended on 15 November 2019. We visited the office location on 13 November 2019.

What we did before the inspection

We reviewed information we had received about the service since the last inspection.The provider was not asked to complete a provider information return prior to this inspection. This is information we require providers to send us to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make. We took this into account when we inspected the service and made the judgements in this report. We used all of this information to plan our

inspection.

During the inspection

We spoke with the registered manager and we reviewed care records for two people receiving support from the service. We looked at two staff files in relation to recruitment and training and a variety of records relating to the management of the service, including policies and procedures were reviewed.

After the inspection

We continued to seek clarification from the provider to validate evidence found. We looked at training data and quality assurance records. We spoke with one person who is supported by the service and one member of staff.

About the service

Ceiba Community Support is a domicilary care service which provides personal care for people living in their own homes. At the time of our inspection two people were being supported with personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided.

People's experience of using this service and what we found

There was a registered manager who had been in post since the service was registered. There were enough staff to ensure people were safe. Where risks associated with people's health and

wellbeing had been identified, plans were in place to manage those risks while ensuring people could remain independent. Staff had received training to safeguard people from harm and knew how to report concerns.

People's care was person centred and was responsive to their individual needs. Staff had received training to understand how to support people well. Care records provided information in relation to people's backgrounds, interests and care needs.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; systems supported this practice. The registered manager ensured care was based upon good practice guidance to help ensure people received an effective service. Promoting independence was encouraged and people were offered choices.

The registered manager and staff team worked closely with external healthcare professionals to ensure people's health and wellbeing was maintained.
