People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People and their relatives were complimentary about Proficient Community Care Services and would recommend the agency. The management and staff worked in partnership with people, relatives and other professionals to achieve individualised, person-centred care.
Risks were assessed and managed safely. People were supported by a staff team who were safely recruited, trained and knew how to protect them from potential harm.
People received their care visits at the times they expected, for the length of time agreed, and from staff they knew. The staff and the management team worked hard to ensure that people received their care visits as planned and at the time of the inspection there had been no reported missed visits.
People received their medication as prescribed and staff adhered to infection prevention and control procedures in line with legislative requirements and recognised best practice guidelines.
People's care and support records were re-assessed regularly and guided staff on how to assist people safely and encourage their independence.
Staff understood the importance of gaining consent from people. 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.
People and relatives felt able to raise any issues with the staff and management team and were confident these would be addressed. Staff felt supported and valued in their role by the management team.
Systems to monitor the quality and safety of the service were in place.
