About the service Care 4 You Manchester is a domiciliary care service providing personal care to one person at the time of the inspection.
Not everyone who uses domiciliary care services receives 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 were protected from the risk of abuse and avoidable harm by staff who understood how to recognise and respond to concerns. Risks were well managed. Medicines were managed safely, and staff worked with other healthcare professionals to meet people's needs.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. People's needs were assessed. Care and support had been planned proactively and in partnership with people and their relatives.
Relatives were positive about the service. They told us staff were kind and caring. People were treated with dignity and respect and were involved in their care planning and delivery. People's right to privacy was upheld. The registered manager could provide people with information about local advocacy services, to ensure they could access support to express their views.
People received person-centred care which was responsive to their needs. People's communication needs had been assessed. Relatives knew how to complain, and felt concerns raised would be listened to and acted upon.
