Review from Sonia A (Daughter of Client) published on 30 September 2022

Overall Experience1.0 out of 5
My Father who is 91, had care with Phoenix support for 8 months. Unfortunately, my father developed a bad case of shingles. This meant his care calls took longer, and the staff sometimes ran over. I tried to increase the length of time allocated from 45 minutes to 75, but going through social services
took time. Then on Wednesday 7th October 2022 at 4.30, I got a phone call from social services to inform me that Phoenix had handed my dad's care back and that they could no longer provide care! I was shocked and disappointed, I was left for a week without carers. Had I been informed I could have found an agency myself. I did not receive a letter, not a phone call, or a text, absolutely nothing. We missed the opportunity to thank the staff and say our goodbyes. I felt it was unprofessional and discourteous to drop us like that. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a situation where care agencies can cherry-pick their clients, and dump anyone who is too much like hard work! Shame on you!

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
