A CARE agency has been rated good by the Care Quality Commission after an inspection.
Ribble Homecare, based in Eanam Old Road, Blackburn, was rated good for its safety, effectiveness, responsiveness and leadership while it was outstanding for its care.
The service provides personal care to people living in their own houses and flats in the community.
It also provides a service to older people, people living with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability.
The service also specialises in providing care to people at the end of their life.
At the time of the two-day inspection on December 4 and December 5, there were 20 people being supported by the service.
A CQC report reads: "The service was exceptionally kind and caring.
"People spoken with during the inspection told us staff provided very high quality, compassionate care particularly when people were at the end of their life.
"We saw evidence of numerous examples where staff and the registered manager had gone above and beyond what might normally be expected of them to ensure people felt they mattered."
