During a routine inspection

MC Care is a care agency providing personal care to people living in their own homes. Not everyone who used the service received 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. At the time of our inspection, the agency was providing care to six people, of which four people received the regulated activity of personal care.

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

People felt safe with staff and told us they were comfortable raising a concern or complaint should the need arise.

People’s care needs were clearly documented. This included any potential risks to the person and what staff could do to reduce this risk.

People were cared for by a sufficient number of staff who were well trained, competent and followed national guidance in relation to the wearing of personal protective equipment.

People’s needs in relation to their food and drink were recorded and where people were supported with this aspect of their care, they were happy with the service provided. People were also supported to go out and continue to do things they enjoyed.

People told us staff were kind, caring and respectful towards them. They were happy with the service they received from MC Care.

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; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

The registered manager had good management skills and ran a well organised and efficient agency. All documentation, policies and guidance needed for their registration with CQC were in place and easily accessible. The registered manager was working hard to improve their skills and knowledge with the intention that this would help improve the overall service they provided to people.
