About the service Filey Fields Court is a domiciliary care service provided to people living in specialist ‘extra care’ housing. People using the service lived in their own flats situated within one large building. At the time of the inspection, the service was providing regulated activity of personal care to 22 people.
Not everyone using the service 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. Whilst the service does not provide care and support to everyone living at Filey Fields Court, staff respond to all the residents if they activate their personal pendant alarms seeking assistance.
