About the service Prestige Nursing Bath is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care to people in their own homes. The service operates in Bath and surrounding areas. At the time of our inspection there were 12 people using the service.
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 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 engaged in decisions about their care to ensure it met their needs. Care plans were person centred and gave clear and specific information of how people preferred their care and support to be delivered. People’s consent was always sought and respected.
The organisation promoted a positive staff culture where staff were valued and supported. Staff were caring and reliable. Regular training specific for people’s needs ensured staff were skilled and competent.
Medicines were managed safely. Assessments identified risks. Guidance was clear on how risk should be managed. People’s nutritional and hydration needs were met.
The service was well led and managed. Systems were in place to monitor and review the quality of the service. There was an open and honest culture and reflective practice took place.
