We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.About the service
Temp37 Healthcare Ltd is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care and support to people living in their own homes. The service is registered to support older people with dementia, people with a learning disability or autistic people and children. At the time of this inspection there was 1 person using the service. 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
Right Support:
Staff supported people to be involved in maintaining their own health and wellbeing where possible with the support from their relative. Staff communicated with people in a way that met their needs. We found that the plan was lacking specific details around a person’s communication style and did not have the information and guidance recorded for staff. We have recommended the provider review people’s communication care plans so that these met their needs.
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.
Right Care:
People’s needs were appropriately assessed before they started using the service. The provider worked with people’s relatives and healthcare professionals when required. Care was person-centred and promoted people's dignity, privacy and human rights. Staff understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. Staff were appropriately trained on how to recognise and report abuse and safeguarding concerns. Care records contained risk assessments with clear guidance for staff to follow. Staff were recruited safely.
Right Culture:
A relative spoke positively about the management team and staff. People received good quality care by trained staff. Staff understood the persons needs in relation to their strengths, impairments or sensitivities people with a learning disability and/or autistic people may have. This enabled people to receive compassionate and empowering care that was tailored to their needs. Staff knew and understood people well.
