During a routine inspection

Summary

Leeds is a domiciliary care agency. It provides personal care to people living in their own houses and flats. At the time of our inspection, 4 people were receiving regulated activity. 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.

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

There was oversight of the service through quality assurance systems however the action plan lacked details. We recommend the provider reviews and updates the action plan.

Systems were in place to help keep people safe. Staff were up to date with safeguarding training and there was a safeguarding tracker in place. There was enough staff and staff had enough time to complete care. People received their medicines as prescribed.

People's needs were assessed and documented clearly in care plans. Care plans included information relating to people's capacity. Staff were provided with support through training, supervision and competency checks. Staff were up to date with training. The provider worked with other agencies such as social services, district nurses and the GP.

Feedback about the care was positive. Staff respected people's privacy and dignity. People were supported to make decisions about their care, and this was well documented. The provider collected feedback and included family members where appropriate in care decisions.

People's care was reviewed to ensure care remained appropriate. Records of daily care followed the care plans. There was a complaints procedure and learning from complaints was shared with staff.
