During a routine inspection
Eastview is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to people living in their own homes. 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. At the time of the inspection one person was receiving personal care.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People were supported by consistent staff who knew them well. Staff had been safety recruited and completed all necessary training before starting work.
Risk assessments and care plans were detailed and included all the relevant information needed to support the person safely.
Staff supported people access healthcare and other agencies. Staff understood people’s health needs and supported them appropriately.
Staff were kind and caring, they promoted peoples independence whilst maintaining their dignity and being respectful.
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 supportedthis practice.
People and their relatives were encouraged to be involved in the planning of their care and support. Staff supported people to maintain relationships and to be involved in social activities.
There were systems and processes in place to ensure person centred care was offered and people’s choices and routines were documented.
The registered manager and staff team worked with external agencies to ensure best practice was followed and improvements to care were always considered.
