A CARE provider looking after people in their own home has improved according to a newly published report.

Dohatech Health Service, registered at 6 Salisbury Street in Amesbury, was visited by the Care Quality Commission for a routine inspection on April 28.

The inspection report, published on May 25, rated the provider 'good' across the board and noted the steps it had taken to improve since it was last rated on January 5, 2022.

The service provides domiciliary care, companionship, live-in care, travel escorts and assistance with appointments and shopping trips.

Staff at Dohatech were praised for understanding the support people needed as well as having the skills and knowledge to meet their needs.

They now receive adequate training and supervision which is recorded and monitored by the registered manager.

The service currently provides in-home care for 28 people who are supported to have "maximum choice and control over their lives", according to inspectors.

Previously, Dohatech had been in breach of the law because it failed to protect people from the risk of unsafe care and treatment.

However, enough improvement had been made in the form of risk assessments and management plans for the service to no longer be in breach.

Manager Andrew Duma, from Dohatech Health Service, described the journey to achieving a 'good' rating as an "arduous" one.

He said: "It has required tremendous teamwork and unwavering dedication to our mission of providing faithful and progressive care.

"We are so happy and proud of our staff at DHS, whose hard work has made a tangible difference in the lives of our service users."

Mr Duma said the "ultimate goal" at DHS is to ensure people lead fulfilling lives.

A new package which includes holiday breaks with dedicated carers is currently being developed.

Mr Duma added: "We firmly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy life and create cherished memories."

Working with groups to immerse service users in their local environments is also a top priority for Mr Duma, who is passionate about "fostering local connections".

Inspectors spoke to five people who used the service, five relatives, the registered manager and eight members of staff during the inspection.

Care, medication and staff records were also reviewed.
