If you have concerns about Clarke house care ltd, you can give feedback on this service.
Clarke House Care Limited is a domiciliary care agency providing personal care and support to 22 people aged 18 and over at the time of the inspection.
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.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People felt safe and the provider assessed risks to the health and wellbeing of people who used the service and staff. Where risks were identified action was taken to reduce the risk where possible. Recruitment processes were in place to ensure that people were protected from staff being employed who were not suitable to work with vulnerable people. Medicines were handled safely by staff who had been assessed as competent to do so.
People felt the service they received helped them to maintain their independence where possible. People said that staff were caring and respected their privacy and dignity. People received care that was planned with them and their relatives to meet their individual needs and preferences.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
People knew how to complain and knew the process to follow if they had concerns. People's right to confidentiality was protected and their diversity needs were identified and incorporated into their care plans where applicable.
People did not always receive timely care from a regular staff team.
