If you have concerns about Your Safe Homecare Ltd t/a Kare Plus Leeds, you can give feedback on this service.
Your Safe Homecare Limited, trading as, Kare Plus Leeds is a domiciliary care agency. The service provides personal care to people in their own homes in the community. At the time of our inspection there were 33 people using the service.
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.
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
At the time of the inspection, the location did not care or support for anyone with a learning disability or an autistic person. However, we assessed the care provision under Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture, as it is registered as a specialist service for this population group.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People and their relatives told us they felt safe using the service. There were enough staff available to meet people's needs. The provider had a robust recruitment process to ensure suitable staff were employed. People were supported to take their medicines safely. People told us most staff followed the correct infection control practices.
People's needs were assessed before they started using the service and regularly or as their needs changed after the service had started. Information gathered was used to create person-centred risk assessments and care plans. We saw how people had been involved and consented to the care plans and risk assessments.
New staff received an induction programme and all staff had completed a range of training which gave them the skills and knowledge to care for people in their own homes. Staff were supported with training and supervision to ensure safe care.
Staff demonstrated they knew people well and understood the way people wanted to be cared for. Staff obtained people's consent before delivering care. People's privacy, dignity and independence were promoted. Staff understood how to provide personalised care.
The service was well managed. The registered manager was knowledgeable and responsive to feedback about the service. Governance systems were in place to ensure all aspects of the service were reviewed and checked regularly. Feedback and lessons learnt were used to improve the service.
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.
