During a routine inspection
Raynes Healthcare Limited is a domiciliary care service that provides personal care and support to people living in their own homes. The service supported six people at the time of our inspection.
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.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People felt safe and the provider assessed risks to the health and wellbeing of people who used the service and staff. Where risks were identified action was taken to reduce the risk where possible. Recruitment processes were in place to make sure people were protected from staff being employed who were not suitable.
Medicines were handled safely by staff who had been assessed as competent to do so. People received effective and timely care from staff who were well trained and supervised.
People felt the service they received helped them to maintain their independence where possible. People received care that was planned with them and their relatives to meet their individual needs and preferences, from staff who were caring and respected their privacy and dignity.
People knew how to complain and knew the process to follow if they had concerns. People's right to confidentiality was protected and their diversity needs were identified and incorporated into their care plans where applicable.
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.
