About the service All Day Care Services Ltd is a domiciliary care service providing care to people living in their own homes. At the time of the inspection, the service provided care and support to 5 people who were receiving a regulated activity of 'personal care.' CQC only inspects where people receive the regulated activity of personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. Where they do, we also consider any wider social care provided.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People were supported to stay safe by regular consistent staff who knew them well. Processes were in place to support staff to share and report safeguarding concerns. Staff were mindful of risks to people from infection and wore the correct personal protective equipment. People’s needs were considered holistically, this included their health needs. Staff were proactive in monitoring and taking action to support people’s health conditions. Staff were supported to provide effective care through regular supervisions, training, and meetings. People were supported to eat and drink enough. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff treated them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. We found further work was needed to ensure people’s capacity to consent to the care provided was needed.
