This means the service continued to meet all relevant fundamental standards, and in addition at this inspection we found they exceeded these in relation to well led.

The service had an exceptional registered manager in place who had strong values to support people as individuals and was someone who was highly experienced. The training, systems and processes in place made for an outstandingly well led service.

People were at the heart of the service and were truly listened to in several ways that enabled them to have a voice to determine their own care and support as well as how the agency could develop and improve. Not only did the registered manager continue to assess the quality of the service through a regular programme of audits, they reviewed audits and systems in place to see if these could be developed further for the benefit of people.

People experienced a reliable service that they found met their individual needs. Care plans were well written; person centred and were regularly reviewed. 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 support this practice. People were safe from potential harm as risks were assessed and minimised, staff had enhanced safeguarding training and medicines were robustly managed where needed. Where needed people were supported to have appropriate amounts to eat and drink and supported to access healthcare.

Staff were positive about Cambridge Care as a company. They were appropriately supported and encouraged with training and development opportunities. Staff were not only safely recruited, but recruited for their values and ability to become caring staff.
