Report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services.

The appendix to this report has been circulated via email to Members of the Committee.

The Committee noted the information on the outcome of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection of reablement services which took place on 13 December 2016.

The Adult Social Care Service provides reablement services to residents of the City

of London for up to six weeks following their discharge from hospital so that people

can become more independent and confident with their self-care. The service

provides home-based support, involving domiciliary care, occupational therapy,

physiotherapy, equipment, telecare and/or social work support.

At the time of the inspection there were three service users receiving reablement

services. The inspection is a short notice statutory inspection of the reablement service under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and seeks to check if the provider is meeting the legal requirements associated with the Act and to look at the overall quality of the service and provide a rating under the Care Act 2014.

The inspection involved a review and assessment of service provision against five

key questions that generate a subsequent grading for each as well as an overall

judgement for the service. The following judgements were made:

Is the service safe Good

Is the service effective Good

Is the service caring Good

Is the service responsive Good

Is the service well-led Good

Overall rating Good.

The Committee congratulated Officers and thanked them for a job well done.

Resolved – that the update be received.
