Support with CQC Inspections and Ratings
Helps social care providers to prepare for a Care Quality Commission inspection, and to respond to a poor rating.
We work with Supported Living and Domiciliary Care providers to develop and deliver their improvement plans – either before or after inspection. The improvement plan may be for an individual service, or it may have implications and benefits for the whole care group.
Are you meeting the Standard Requirements?
It is in the interest of every Registered Provider to meet and exceed the minimum required standards. Maintaining registration with CQC enables a Domiciliary Care Agency, Supported Living Service, a residential or nursing care home to operate and this also provides a level of security to the users and potential residents/ service users. Reports from previous CQC inspections indicate that health and social care providers with good or outstanding ratings stand a higher chance of success as they will be complying with legislation.
CQC monitors compliance through:
- Onsite visits
- Provider Information Returns (PIR) obtained from the Provider
- Third Party information from other Health and Social care Providers and Stakeholders
- Special reviews
Working with Care Quality Support will enable Registered providers to put systems in place and Quality Monitoring Systems that will enable the provider to comply, maintain, monitor and continuously improve the service being provided.
