A BARNSLEY Council service which provides support to people in their own homes has been praised by the Care Quality Commission.
The council’s reablement service provides people with support for up to six weeks to help them live independently following discharge from hospital or adult social care services.
It was inspected by the CQC in May and subsequently handed a ‘good’ rating.
A report states: “Some improvements were required to ensure staff received up to date training and supervision.
“However, plans were in place to complete this in the upcoming weeks.
“People were safeguarded from the risk of abuse and staff understood their responsibilities to keep people safe.
“People had risk assessments and care plans in place, and staff completed daily records about people’s care and support.
“Professionals who worked with the service told us it was well led, provided good care to people and was responsive. This was the first assessment of this service, and the service is rated good.”
