During an assessment under our new approach

Date of assessment 6 November to 19 November 2024. Fosse Healthcare Nottingham is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care and support to older people and younger adults with a physical disability, people living with dementia, people with substance misuse problems, autistic people, people with a learning disability, people with sensory impairment and people living with mental health conditions. At the time of the assessment, the service was supporting 81 people with their personal care needs. Fosse Healthcare - Nottingham last report was published 7 June 2024. This assessment was completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). As the service was not previously rated and not all quality statements were covered, this service remained unrated. During this assessment we assessed a total of 23 quality statements from the safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led key questions and found areas of good practice. The scores for these areas have been combined with scores based on the key question ratings from the last assessment. 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.
