People's experience of this service

We made calls on 27 June 2024 and spoke to 6 people receiving care and support from Care Relief Team and/or their family member. People told us they felt safe when supported by staff employed by Care Relief Team (CRT). Calls usually took place at the agreed time and the majority of people knew which staff to expect. People felt staff were trained to support them safely and respected their rights, privacy and dignity. People knew who to raise concerns to if they had any and told us staff were kind and caring. People were involved in their assessment prior to support starting in their own homes. Most people had a copy of their care plan in their home and managers from the organisation had visited them. People did not always access information relating to their care electronically. People identified where improvements could be made and shared these with the provider, either through feedback forms or by getting in touch with staff in the office. People told us they would like to see communication from the provider improved.
