About the service Hil Care (East Yorkshire) Limited is a small domiciliary care agency and provides care and support to people living in their own homes. Not everyone who used the service received personal care. The Care Quality Commission (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 2 people received the regulated activity 'personal care'.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People using the service and their relatives told us they felt safe. A relative told us, “I have no doubts they are safe.”
Staff were recruited safely and kept people safe from the risk of abuse and avoidable harm. Personalised risk assessments provided staff with enough information to support people safely.
People received their medicines as prescribed and staff followed good infection control practises.
Staff were well trained and well supported. They provided people with the right care based on a thorough assessment of their 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 and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Staff delivered kind and compassionate care and respected people’s individual choices.
The service benefitted from a registered manager who worked collaboratively with staff to deliver high quality care. The registered manager shared learning with staff and promoted a culture of continuous improvement.
