About Tender Loving Care South West
Tender Loving Care South West provides care and support to people in their own homes in St Columb and the surrounding part of Cornwall. We work with older people, and our experience covers dementia, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss. Support is worked out at home with the person and whoever they want present. For some it is a single morning call to help with washing, dressing and medication. For others it is several visits a day, with meals, company, help around the house and support to get out and about. The plan is agreed together and changes as life changes. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We did not dispute what was found. Since then we have tightened the way we schedule, monitor and check visits, strengthened our handling of medicines and the records we keep, increased supervision and training for our carers, and had senior staff look at the care actually delivered rather than the care described on paper. That work continues. We would far rather raise this ourselves and answer questions honestly than leave a family to find it out later, and we are glad to go through the detail with anyone who asks. In a rural area, what we are aiming at has not altered: rounds planned so carers are not racing between villages, visits long enough to be worth having, and the same faces coming back.
