About the service Muzaana Care Services Ltd is a domiciliary care agency. It provides care and support to people in their own homes in the London Boroughs of Brent and Harrow.

People’s experience of using this service and what we found
The provider had arrangements in place to check on and maintain the quality of the service. However, these checks had not always been recorded in systematic way to show the service was always managed safely and effectively.
The service was led by a “hands on” registered manager with a clear commitment to treating people with dignity and respect while continuously learning and improving.
People were happy with their care and support and told us staff were kind and caring. People received consistent care from staff they could develop trusting relationships with. People were encouraged to be independent where possible.
People received care that was adapted and updated to make sure it met their needs. People had personalised care and risk management plans in place that set out their likes and preferences clearly. People and relatives felt able to complain or give feedback and were listened to. People and their families were supported to consider people's end of life preferences and these were respected. The service worked with other agencies to make sure people received joined up care.
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. People were supported to be healthy and to access healthcare services. Those who required support received this in relation to food and drinks. Staff received training, support and supervision to provide care to meet people’s needs.
