If you have concerns about Inn Care Ltd, you can give feedback on this service.
Inn Care Ltd is a domiciliary service which provides personal care to adults with a range of support needs in their houses and flats. At the time of this inspection the service was supporting two people.
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 this service and what we found
The provider's auditing processes needed improvement to ensure records contained enough information to guide staff about people’s support needs. People and their relatives were able to give feedback about their care in a variety of ways. Examples included satisfaction surveys and spot checks monitoring staff performance.
People were protected from abuse and relatives told us their loved ones received safe care. People received support from a regular staff team and staff were recruited safely.
Staff had received training in infection control and demonstrated an understanding of what personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used when supporting people. People told us that staff wore PPE when coming into their homes. At the time of the inspection the service was not supporting anyone with the administration of medicines.
People's needs were assessed and staff with the right skills helped to meet these. Staff received appropriate training to assist them in their role. There were enough staff to support people's needs and relatives told us they saw the same care workers who were usually on time. Staff supported people with their eating, drinking and to access healthcare support.
There was an enthusiastic, positive and caring culture amongst staff at the service. Staff had good
knowledge about the people they supported and told us they enjoyed working at the service. People were cared for by staff with sincerity, kindness and compassion and in a calm unhurried manner. People's independence was promoted and respected.
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.
