Fabulous Homecare LTD is a domiciliary care agency that provides personal care to people living in their own homes in the community. The service was previously known as Fabulous Home Care Agency but operated under a different legal entity. The new provider registered with us in June 2019.
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 our inspection there were 10 people using the service.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People were safe. Staff had been trained to safeguard people from abuse. They understood the risks to people’s safety and wellbeing and what they should do to keep people safe. There were enough staff at the time of this inspection to support people using the service and meet their needs.
The provider undertook recruitment and criminal records checks to make sure staff were suitable to support people. Staff followed current practice when providing personal care and when preparing and handling food which reduced infection and hygiene risks in people’s homes.
Staff received relevant training to help them meet people’s needs. Staff were well supported by managers and encouraged to continually learn and improve in their role. Managers carried out checks on staff to make sure they were carrying out their duties appropriately and to a high standard.
Where the provider was responsible for this, staff helped people to eat and drink enough to meet their needs and to take their prescribed medicines. Staff understood people’s healthcare needs and how they should be supported with these in a timely and appropriate way.
People were satisfied with the care and support they received from staff. They received the care and support that had been planned and agreed with them. People’s choices for how this was provided were respected and staff delivered this in line with their wishes.
Staff were kind and caring and respected people’s rights to privacy, dignity and independence. They knew people well and understood how their identified needs should be met.
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.
Managers monitored and reviewed the quality of service that people experienced. They checked with people at regular intervals that the care and support provided was meeting their needs and sought their views about how the service could improve.
There were arrangements in place to make sure any accidents, incidents and complaints would be fully investigated and people would be involved and informed of the outcome. Managers worked with other agencies and healthcare professionals involved in people’s care and acted on their recommendations to deliver care and support that met people’s needs.
