All Inspections

28 January 2014

During a routine inspection

We conducted an announced inspection of the agency, so that we were able to meet with some of the agency staff. We also looked at the records and documentation held in the agency office.

People who used this service and their relatives told us they were happy with the support provided by Eden Country Care. Comments included,

'I am very happy with the staff that come to help me. They are all lovely'

'The carers are all very kind and I enjoy talking to them'

Relatives said,

'All the staff are really good and I know some of them go above and beyond their duty. I look at the care plan every day".

All those who used this service had an individual plan of care, a copy of which was kept in their home for them to read if they wished. We looked at the care documentation in the office and found this to be relevant and up to date.

We found that the selection and recruitment of staff to be appropriate with staff support and training appropriate to each person working at this agency. We contacted three members of staff by telephone and all of them said Eden Country Care was a good place to work. One told us, 'I had a good induction programme and shadowed a more experienced member of staff until the manager thought I was able to work by myself'.

This agency had an appropriate and robust internal quality audit system in place to monitor the safety and quality of the service provided.
