Inspection findings in brief
- The provider was given 24 hours' notice of the inspection, as this is a small service where people are often out during the day and we needed to make sure that the registered manager would be available to meet us.
- This is the first inspection since the service was re- registered under a new name in May 2017.
- It provides personal care to older adults living in their own houses and flats in the community.
- It currently provides personal care to 23 people who live in their own homes.
Inspected 12 June 2018; report published 21 August 2018; supporting 23 people at the time. From the regulator's own summary (Open Government Licence). Read the full report.
History with CQC
CQC registration dates from May 2017, so the service has been operating for around 9 years under its current registration.
Its only published overall rating so far is Good, from August 2018.
It has gone 8 years without a new overall rating. CQC schedules inspections by risk, so this is not a bad sign in itself, though leadership may have moved on.
