All Inspections

31 January 2013

During a routine inspection

People we spoke with understood the choices available to them and said they were involved in making decisions about their care and support. People told us that care staff knew them well and the support provided was individual and based on their choice. They said that they were always asked their opinion and felt listened to.

One person said they were very happy with the care they received. They said staff had become 'like friends' and that they felt safe with them. They received the personal care they needed.

People said that since having this service, staff always turned up and at the time they were supposed to.

We looked at both of the care plans which had information on the type of care that people required and what time the care was provided. There was a Home Care Service agreement which had information on the care that was being given which was signed by people receiving the service and the provider. This showed that people were receiving the care that they needed.
