Why we inspected: This was a planned inspection, in line with our inspection schedule, to check that the service remained Good.

People’s experience of using this service: The service had been developed in line with the values that underpin ‘Registering the Right Support’ and other best practice guidance. These values include choice, promotion of independence and inclusion. By following these principles, services can support people with developmental disabilities to live as ordinary a life as any other citizen.

The person receiving support was treated with kindness and respect. Staff knew them well, helped them make choices and decisions and encouraged them to be as independent as they could.

There were systems in place to recruit staff safely.

Staff received the training and supervision they needed to support the person with their specific care needs.

The service had a process for handling complaints and concerns. There had not been any recent complaints about the service.

The service was well-managed. The registered manager and chief executive officer provided good leadership. Audits and quality checks were undertaken on a regular basis to monitor and improve standards.

Follow up: We will continue to monitor this service and plan to inspect in line with our re-inspection schedule for services rated Good.

This inspection took place on 21 and 25 April 2016 and was announced. The provider was given 48 hours’ notice because the location provides a domiciliary care service; we needed to be sure that someone would be in.

Jaffray Domiciliary Care Services currently provides personal care and support to people living in a supported living scheme. At the time of this inspection there were four people living at the scheme, with one person receiving support with personal care.

There was no registered manager in post at the time of our inspection, but since then a new manager has registered with us. 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.’

We last inspected the service on 29 and 30 January 2014; there was one breach of legal requirement at that inspection. During this inspection we found that the provider had taken action to comply with the regulations.

People received a safe service. Procedures were in place to ensure that people received a service that was safe; staff followed the procedures to ensure the risk of harm to people was reduced. The risk of harm to people receiving a service was assessed and managed appropriately; this ensured that people received care and support in a safe way. Where people received support from staff with taking prescribed medicines, this was done in a way that ensured the risk to people was minimised.

People received care and support from staff that were trained and supported to be effective in their role. People’s rights were protected and they had choices in their daily lives. People were supported to maintain their diet and health. People’s privacy, dignity independence and individuality was respected and promoted at all times.

People received care from staff that were suitably recruited, supported and in sufficient numbers to ensure people’s needs were met.

People were able to raise their concerns or complaints and processes were in place to ensure complaints were investigated and responded to, so people could be confident they would be listened to and their concerns taken seriously.

People received a good quality service, which was well managed. The management of the service was stable, with processes in place to monitor the quality of the service. People were asked to comment on the quality of service they received and the information was used to improve the service.
