The inspection, summarised
- It provides personal care to people living in their own houses and flats in the community.
- Where they do this, we also take into account any wider social care provided.
- At our last inspection of the service in July 2018 we were not able to rate the service because only one person was being provided support and we did not have sufficient evidence of consistent good practice over time.
- However, we found no information or evidence at that time to demonstrate any serious risks or concerns about the service and the care provided.
