Bretby Business Park - Enabling Others, is a domiciliary care agency and provides personal care and support to people with learning disabilities and/or mental health and complex needs, who require assistance in their own home. At the time of our inspection 10 people were being supported by the service. 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 s supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
People's experience of using this service and what we found
Right Support: People were happy with the care and support they received. People were supported by a regular team of staff who knew them well. This promoted continuity of care. Staff enabled people to access specialist health and social care support. 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.
Right Care: People's needs and preferences were assessed prior to receiving the service. People received consistent care from staff who knew them well. People and those important to them were involved in planning their care. Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. There were enough appropriately skilled staff to meet people's needs and keep them safe. Risk assessments identified and reduced any risks to people and staff.
Right Culture: The registered manager, nominated individual and staff listened and responded to people's views. They maintained oversight and daily monitoring of the service which was used to identify shortfalls and improve the service for the people who used it. People received good quality care, support and treatment because trained staff could meet their needs and wishes. People were supported to maintain good health, were supported with their medicines and had accessed healthcare services when needed. Staff prepared food and drink to meet people's dietary needs and preferences. People received care that was tailored to their needs.
Staff and the registered manager worked effectively with community health and social care professionals to ensure people's needs were met. People knew how to raise issues or complaints, and said the service was responsive to their needs. People felt consulted and involved in the running of the service.
We have made a recommendation around the development of more robust quality assurance systems.
