About the service Home Instead Scarborough and Ryedale is a domiciliary care agency supporting people with personal care in their own homes. All of the people supported were older people or people living with a dementia. At the time of our inspection 5 people were being supported.
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.

Medicines were managed safely. Risks to people were assessed and addressed. People were safeguarded from abuse. Staffing levels were monitored, and staff safely recruited.

The policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Care plans were personalised and regularly reviewed. Staff help people to make their voices heard. A clear complaints process was in place to help address any concerns raised.
Good governance systems were in place. People, relatives and staff spoke positively about the culture and values of the service. Feedback was sought and acted on.
