Prime Healthcare Avenue Ltd is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care and support to people in their own homes. At the time of the inspection the agency was supporting five people. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. In this service, the Care Quality Commission can only inspect the service received by people who get support with personal care. This includes help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where people receive such support, we also consider any wider social care provided.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People and their relatives spoke well of their care service and how it was managed.
A relative commented, “I think they are brilliant, very professional.” People told us they felt safe and caring staff treated them with dignity and respect.
The service met people’s care and support needs. The provider developed care plans with people and their relatives, which set out their likes, care preferences and communication needs. People were supported with their medicines safely.
There were enough staff to meet people's needs. People were visited by the same staff who they were familiar with and who knew their needs and how they liked to be supported. The provider’s recruitment processes helped to make sure only suitable staff were employed.
Staff received regular training, supervision and competency checks so they could support people well. They felt supported in their roles by the registered manager.
There were systems in place to monitor the quality of the service and recognise when improvements were required. People and staff were asked to give feedback about the service. People and their relatives knew how to raise issues or complaints and found the registered manager responsive, approachable and experienced.
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.
