1st January 1970 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

This inspection took place on 2 and 4 November 2015 and was announced. This was the first inspection since the service had moved into new premises and been registered as a separate domiciliary care agency.

The service is registered to provide personal care. The agency employs approximately 40 care workers who provide support to people living in their own homes, such as washing, dressing, assisting with the administration of medication and the preparation of meals. The agency office is located in Carnaby, close to the town of Bridlington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Staff provide a service to people who live in Bridlington and other areas of the East Riding of Yorkshire. There is car parking available at the premises.

The registered provider is required to have a registered manager in post and on the day of the inspection the manager was not registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). However, they had started the registration process. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.

People told us that they felt safe whilst they were receiving a service from staff working for Burlington Home Care. People were protected from the risks of harm or abuse because the registered provider had effective systems in place to manage any safeguarding concerns. Staff were trained in safeguarding adults from abuse and understood their responsibilities in respect of protecting people from the risk of harm.

Staff confirmed that they received induction training when they were new in post and told us that they were happy with the training provided for them. The training records evidenced that all staff had completed induction training and that all staff had completed training on the topics considered to be essential by the registered provider. Some staff had also achieved a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ).

New staff had been employed following the agency’s recruitment and selection policies and this ensured that only people considered suitable to work with vulnerable people had been employed. We saw that there were sufficient numbers of staff employed to meet people’s individual needs.

People told us that staff were caring and that their privacy and dignity was maintained.

People told us that they received the support they required from staff and that their care packages were reviewed and updated as required. They expressed satisfaction with the assistance they received with the administration of medication and meal preparation.

There were systems in place to seek feedback from people who used the service and staff. Feedback had been analysed to identify any improvements that needed to be made. We saw that, on occasions, feedback that had been received had been used as a learning opportunity for staff.

Complaints received by the agency had been investigated appropriately. People told us they were confident that if they expressed concerns or complaints they would be dealt with appropriately.
