2022-06-21Requires improvementnewUnratedRequires improvementAlcedo Care Wigan and St Helens received a 'Requires Improvement' rating because risk assessment and management were inadequate, with care records lacking sufficient guidance for staff to safely support people with medical conditions, and quality assurance systems failing to effectively monitor call times and identify safety issues. While the service demonstrated good caring practices and was effective in most areas, weak governance and risk management processes meant the organisation could not consistently assure the safety of care being delivered.
