This service was registered in September 2017, this was their first inspection.
There was a registered manager in post, who was also a managing director of the organisation. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons.’ Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
There were systems in place designed to provide people with safe care. There were enough care workers to ensure that all planned visits for people were completed. Care workers were recruited safely. Where people required support with their medicines, this was done in a safe way. There were infection control procedures in place to reduce the risks of cross infection. Risks to people were managed, including risks from abuse and in their daily lives. The service learned from incidents to improve the service.
People received an effective service. People were cared for by care workers who were trained and supported to meet their needs. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and care workers supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

The service worked with other organisations involved in people’s care to provide consistent care.
