Ros and Mos House Support Ltd

Ros and Mos House Support Ltd is a domiciliary care service providing personal care to people who live in their own houses and flats. At the time of our inspection, 5 people were using the service.

Not everyone who uses domiciliary care services receives personal care. 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.

People's experience of using the service and what we found

People's medicines were not always managed safely and the provider's processes for checking the accuracy of people's medicines records were not robust.

The registered manager's governance arrangements did not always provide assurance the service was well led. Quality assurance systems were not robust and had not identified the shortfalls we found during our inspection. Limited information was available or recorded to demonstrate the registered manager had recognised where improvements were needed, and lessons learned to improve quality of care to people.

We received positive feedback on the service. A relative told us, ''The staff are extremely kind and caring. We have never experienced a missed visit.'' There were appropriate levels of staff to support people. People were safeguarded from the risk of abuse. Staff had received appropriate training to support people.

People were protected by the provider's prevention and control of infection practices and arrangements. People said they felt safe and had no concerns about their safety or wellbeing.

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.
