Prestbury Care Providers

Prestbury Care Providers is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to people in their own homes. Not everyone who used the service received 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. At the time of our inspection there were 18 people receiving personal care from the service.

Not everyone using the service had their medicines administered by the service. Where they did, we found medicines were administered, managed and monitored safely.

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.

People told us they knew how to make complaints and felt confident that the service would act on these.

All 6 people we spoke with were exceptionally positive about the support they received. People said they felt the service was well managed and communication was good. There were robust systems in place to oversee the quality of the service and ensure people received consistent high-quality care.
