Hampshire care services rated good by regulator

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 12:33 · Archive

Two Hampshire care services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission in recent inspections. SeeAbility – Aldershot Support Service, which provides homecare to 24 people, was inspected between September 1 and September 24, with its assessment published on September 29. The service supports people in their own homes, including those with mental health needs, learning disabilities and autism. It is run by The Royal School for the Blind.

Inspectors assessed all 33 quality statements and rated the service good in every area. The CQC found that people were protected and kept safe, with their health conditions and related risks assessed and managed safely. Staff received training and supervision, including on safeguarding concerns, and medicines were stored, recorded and given safely. Hampshire County Council's adult social care services also received a 'good' rating, with the CQC commending its personalised approach to assessment and care planning, which supports choice and control. The council's executive lead member for adult social care, Cllr Zoe Huggins, said inspectors had highlighted strengths from the support helping people remain independent to strong partnerships enabling residents to access the care they need.
