During an assessment under our new approach

Date of assessment: 20 August 2025. Hallam24 Bassetlaw is a domicilary care service providing support to people of any age including those living with dementia living in their own homes. At the time of the assessment, the service was supporting 43 people with their personal care needs. Hallam24 Bassetlaw was last rated good (published 29 June 2022).

People received safe care from a small team of consistent staff members who knew them well. Where people were supported with medicines, this was done safely and records, such as medicine administration records, accurately reflected the support people received. Care plans were person centred and detailed how people wished to be supported. Where people needed support with specific conditions and/or equipment, care plans contained clear guidance for staff on how to support people and actions to be taken in the event of an emergency.

Staff were recruited safely and received comprehensive training and development to support them within their role. Practical training such as medicines and manual handing were done in house by qualified staff members enabling the provider to refresh this training as needed, this included when new risks had been identified or when people needed new equipment. This ensured people received safe and effective care consistently.

Audits and quality monitoring processes implemented by the registered manager were effective at identifying issues, actions plans had been developed and where needed lessons learned had been shared with staff.

About the service

Hallam24 Bassetlaw is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care in people’s own homes. At the time of our inspection there were 19 people receiving personal care from Hallam24 Bassetlaw.

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 this service and what we found

People were kept safe by staff who were appropriately recruited, trained and guided to meet people’s needs and manage risks. People were supported with their medicines by staff who understood and were guided to administer in people’s preferred way. Staff wore personal protective equipment in line with current guidelines. People did not always receive their calls at the scheduled time, however calls were never missed or delayed more than one hour.

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 had their needs assessed from the moment they joined the service and care was delivered in line with current guidelines. Staff felt supported by the provider and received relevant training. Staff were able to meet peoples eating and drinking needs and were informed of people’s preferences.

People were supported by kind and caring staff who understood how to deliver care in a dignified and respectful way.

People’s care was planned in a personalised way and staff had very detailed guidance on hand to ensure they supported people in an individualised manner. People knew how to raise concerns and the provider ensured they addressed these appropriately.

The service was led by an organised management team who understood their duties and responsibilities. The provider’s vision and values involved both staff and people to ensure personalised and quality care was delivered.
