Momo & Tarek Care Limited is a domiciliary care agency which provides personal care to people in their own homes. At the time of our inspection the service was providing the regulated activity personal care to four people living in Coventry. CQC only inspects the service being received by people provided with 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 and their relatives spoke positively about the service they received. Staff and the management team knew how to keep people safe and protect them from harm. Staff were recruited safely. Risk associated with people’s care and their home environment were identified, assessed and well managed. Staff were trained in medicine management and knew how to support people to take their medicines safely. The prevention and control of infections were managed in line with government guidance and the provider procedures.
People and their relatives had confidence in the ability of staff to provide effective care. Staff development was supported through an induction when they started work and ongoing training to help them provide effective care to people. People had access to healthcare professionals to ensure that their ongoing healthcare needs were met.
People received person centred care and had developed positive relationships with staff who they described as ‘caring’. Staff had a good understanding of the care and support people needed and provided this safely with care, kindness and compassion. People’s right to dignity and privacy were respected and their independence was promoted.
Care plans were developed in partnership with people to ensure they reflected people’s preferences, religious and cultural beliefs and values. People and their relatives knew how to make a complaint. The management team encouraged people, relatives and staff to provide feedback about the service. Feedback was used to drive forward improvement and learn lessons.
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.
The registered manager had systems and processes in place to learn from incidents and events at the service. There were processes in place to monitor and review the quality of the service provided, for example, audits of care records. The provider had a contingency plan in place, to minimise any risks to the service running safely in the event of, for example adverse weather conditions. Staff felt supported by the management team, who worked in an open and transparent way.
