During an inspection looking at part of the service
MJ Home Care Staffing Limited provides personal care and support to people living in their own homes. It provides a service to older people and younger adults who may have a range of needs arising from dementia, learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder, mental health, physical disability and sensory impairment.
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.
At the time of our inspection 133 people were receiving the regulated activity personal care. This included 3 people who were residing in supported living.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
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.
This was a targeted inspection that considered the areas of staffing and recruitment. Based on our inspection we found the service had safe systems of staffing and recruitment to meet people’s needs.
The service had thorough systems in place to recruit staff safely. Systems were in place to provide enough appropriately skilled staff to support people’s changing needs.

Why we inspected
We undertook this targeted inspection to check on a specific concern we had about staffing and recruitment. We found no evidence during this inspection that people were at risk of harm from this concern. Please see the safe section of this report.
The overall rating for the service has not changed following this targeted inspection and remains good.
We use targeted inspections to follow up on Warning Notices or to check concerns. They do not look at an entire key question, only the part of the key question we are specifically concerned about. Targeted inspections do not change the rating from the previous inspection. This is because they do not assess all areas of a key question.
Follow up
We will continue to monitor information we receive about the service, which will help inform when we next inspect.
