During a routine inspection
Mnara Health is a domiciliary care agency providing care and support to people in their own homes, including live-in care. The agency was supporting four people at the time of our inspection, one of whom was receiving live-in care.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People received consistent care from staff who knew their needs well. People felt safe when staff provided their care and said staff followed the guidance in their care plans.
Staff monitored people’s health and well-being and reported any changes they observed. The registered manager communicated effectively with people’s relatives to ensure they were kept up to date about their family members’ well-being.
Staff were recruited safely and understood their roles in protecting people from abuse. Staff had an induction when they joined the agency and access to relevant training and management support. Team meetings took place regularly and staff were encouraged to raise any concerns they had.
The registered manager monitored the quality of the service through regular checks and audits. This included carrying out spot checks to assess the delivery of care by staff.
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.
