Archived: Adjuvo (North Tyneside) Support for Living Ltd

Adjuvo (North Tyneside) Support for Living Ltd is a domiciliary care agency which provides personal care to 50 older people living in their own home.

Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.

People’s experience of using this service and what we found

People felt very safe with the support they received from consistent staff, who knew them well. People’s care needs were assessed, and risks were reduced.

There had been no accidents, serious incidents or complaints made about the service. Minor incidents were recorded and acted upon to prevent repeat occurrences. People were satisfied with the service they received.

People were well cared for in their own home by staff who provided reliable, high-quality, person-centred care. People’s privacy and dignity were upheld, and staff were kind and respectful towards people and their families. People were encouraged to be independent and were involved in creating their care plans and making decisions.

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.

The registered manager had developed a good working relationship with external professionals to ensure people received any additional support they needed to achieve good outcomes. The service was flexible and could easily be altered to meet people's varying needs and wishes.

The safety and quality of the service was thoroughly monitored through checks and audits. The registered manager strived to achieve high standards through continuous improvements to the service.
