If you have concerns about Passionate & Care Limited, you can give feedback on this service.
Passionate & Care Limited is a domiciliary care service, providing personal care to people living in London.
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. On the day of the site visit, one person was receiving the regulated activity of personal care.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
One person and a relative told us they felt the service was safe. Staff understood what action to take if they suspected somebody was being harmed or abused. Staff knew how to report accidents and incidents. People had risk assessments to keep them safe from the risks they may face. These were updated as needed and used to inform reviews of people’s care.
People were supported by enough staff who had been recruited safely. The provider did not support people with medicines.
The provider ensured there was infection control guidance in place. Staff confirmed they were provided with enough personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves.
People’s healthcare-associated risks were identified and assessed. People’s needs were assessed before they received care from the service. People’s needs were met by staff who were well trained and received regular support and supervision. People’s dietary needs were met effectively.
One person and a relative told us staff were caring and treated their family with respect and dignity. People and their relatives were involved in making decisions regarding their care. People were supported to remain as independent as possible.
Care records were up to date, and person centred. People’s cultural and religious needs were respected when planning and delivering care. Discussions with the registered manager and staff showed they respected people’s sexual orientation so that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people could feel accepted and welcomed in the service. The provider had a complaints procedure in place and people and relatives knew how to make a complaint.
One person, a relative and staff told us the management of the service were supportive. Staff told us they felt well supported by the registered manager. The service had quality assurance processes in place. The service worked with other organisations to improve people’s experiences.
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.
