Oxford Mail Press Release 6th April 2020
CQC praise 'amazing' staff at Oxford home care agency George Springall Homecare Partnership.
AMAZING' staff at an Oxford home care agency with an 'extremely caring culture' have been praised in a glowing report by the health watchdog.
George Springall Homecare Partnership, based at Oxford Science Park, was inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and judged to be outstanding, the highest possible rating.
A report, which was published on March 29, following a visit in January said the agency, which at the time was providing home support for 21 people, was well led and staff went 'above and beyond'.
It stated: "Without exception people and relatives told us staff remained extremely caring and they went 'above and beyond' to improve people's well-being."
The CQC report continued: "One relative told us, 'They are all beautiful, amazing people who bring laughter into the home."
Inspectors said there 'many examples' of staff going 'over and above' what was expected of them. Giving one such instance, the report said a person shared how they missed having their hair washed so a staff member bought a special bowl for them and now helped them to have their hair washed several times a week.
It added: "The person laughed as they told us how special it made them feel having their hair washed and dried."
The report also praised the registered manager as being 'passionate about providing high quality care that centred on people' with an 'extremely caring culture' created. To read the full press release please click here.

IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE THAT WE CAN ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE ONCE AGAIN BEEN GIVEN A CQC RATING OF OVERALL OUTSTANDING!
George Springall Homecare Partnership was recently inspected by the CQC 15/02/2020 and have once again been given the rating of overall Outstanding!
This is an amazing achievement that we are all extremely proud to be a part of.
The CQC are the independent regulator of health and social care in England. Visiting services is an important part of the CQC inspection process. It gives the CQC inspector the opportunity to talk to the Registered Manager, staff and service users who use the service. Carrying out site visits also allows the CQC to observe care and to look at people's records to see how their needs are managed.
There are five questions the CQC ask of all care services. They're at the heart of the way they regulate and they help the CQC to make sure we focus on the things that matter to people.
1.Are they safe?
2.Are they effective?
3.Are they caring?
4.Are they responsive to people's needs?
5.Are they well-led?
When we decided to register George Springall Homecare Partnership with the CQC it was our objective to make a difference and to offer the best care available in Oxfordshire. To receive a rating of Overall Outstanding on our first inspection in 2017 proved without doubt that we were meeting our objectives and satisfied the CQC in all aspects of care and management. To receive an Overall Outstanding rating once again in 2020 proves that the company is continuing to perform exceptionally well.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Roxane Lane, Registered Manager, for her endless commitment and endless hard work towards being CQC compliant. As you would all be aware Roxane has a passion for delivering outstanding care, customer service and going the extra mile to support her staff. I am sure that you are all very thankful for everything she does.
I would like to congratulate the company's Seniors, Lee Lewis and Kris Davies and all of the Care Workers for continuously striving to deliver the highest standard of care available and for representing the company's values within the community.
I would also like to thank our newly appointed member of staff Sophie Hart, Care HR Administrator for her professional conduct, commitment and dedication to her new role.
The CQC will be releasing our Outstanding rating to the press and the official report will be published on the CQC website in due course.
Thank you all for your dedication and hard work. You can all be very proud to work for an Outstanding care company. Well done to all of you.
Kind regards,
Dominic Lane

Oxfordshire City Council Press Release 23/08/2017
A home care provider in Oxfordshire has been rated as “Outstanding” by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), confirming that the county is ahead of national averages.
George Springall Homecare Partnership is a domiciliary care (home care) agency providing support and care to people in their own homes in the South Oxfordshire area - currently with clients in Wallingford, Botley, Steventon, Shippon, Standlake, Abingdon and Berinsfield.
Following an inspection earlier this year it has been given the CQC’s top rating of “Outstanding” – which is rarely awarded.
The other possible ratings following an inspection are “Good”, “requires improvement” or “inadequate”.
The award means that Oxfordshire is now better than the national average for “Outstanding” domiciliary care agencies with three per cent given the top rating locally compared to two per cent nationally. A total of 86 per cent of local agencies are rated “good” compared to 82 per cent nationally.
Councillor Lawrie Stratford, Oxfordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, said: “The role of home care both here in Oxfordshire and elsewhere in the country has increased hugely in recent years.
“As such, as a council, we pay ever more attention to the CQC’s inspection results. It is pleasing to see that we are ahead of the national picture and this excellent result for the George Springall Partnership confirms that. My congratulations go to them on an excellent report that paints a picture of diligent and caring work that goes the extra mile for the people receiving care.”
What did the CQC report say?
The report said: “The service was extremely responsive to supporting people whose needs were complex and tended to change. We were repeatedly told of numerous occasions where the service had gone above and beyond of what was expected of them.
“People and relatives were delighted with the kindness and thoughtfulness of staff, which exceeded their expectations of how they would be cared for and supported. People explained how staff went the extra mile for them and assured us they couldn't ask for anything more. People told us the support they received significantly improved their well-being.
“People's relatives told us that the service went above their contractual duties by providing their loved ones with end of life care. The relatives said staff helped them to put their minds at ease and get through the difficult time. The provider's philosophy, vision and values were understood and shared within the staff team.
“The service was extremely responsive to people's needs and wishes even if the support people needed proved to exceed their contracted hours. People told us that staff went over and above the call of duty. People also said this made a profound difference to their lives.”
''Roxane Lane the Registered Manager/Owner of George Springall said: “This amazing “Outstanding” rating honoured the memory of our beloved George Springall in the most wonderful way. We are extremely proud to be a part of this. We have a brilliant team that represents the company's values and culture within the community.''
