Ronti Care Solutions is a domiciliary care agency. 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 the inspection Ronti Care Solutions was providing personal care to three people living in their own homes.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
The service had not always ensured staff were safely recruited. Recruitment checks were not always completed prior to staff starting work. Following our inspection, the registered manager responded promptly, reviewing their recruitment processes and sending us confirmation staff documentation was now in place. We have made a recommendation about the safe recruitment of staff.
People told us they received their medicines as prescribed; however, the systems in place for managing medicines safely were not always effective. People’s medicines records were not always completed accurately and staff competency to administer medicines had not always been assessed. We have made a recommendation about the safe management of medicines.
Risks to people had been assessed; however, not all risks relating to people’s specific health needs had been considered. Following our feedback, the registered manager reviewed and updated the risk assessments to ensure these were included. People’s care plans were personalised and reflected their individual preferences.
People told us they felt safe. Staff knew how to protect people from the risk of abuse and how to raise any concerns.
Staff felt supported by the registered manager and were in the process of completing a range of training relevant to their role.
People and relatives told us the staff were kind and caring and spoke positively about the registered manager and the service. People were involved in making decisions about their care. Staff were respectful of people’s dignity and privacy.
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 were supported to access healthcare services when needed; however, people’s oral health needs had not been assessed by the service. We have made a recommendation about supporting people with their oral health.
The registered manager was introducing systems to monitor the quality and safety of the service. People and relatives knew how to raise concerns and told us they were confident action would be taken to address these. The registered manager asked people, relatives and staff for regular feedback and worked closely with them to develop and improve the service.
