QUALITY ASSURANCE

We are committed to running the homes in the bestinterests of the residents. The homes have been established with a quality-orientated approach to the business with a high degree of quality awareness developed through all levels of staff training and management. To this end a pro-active approach is taken to introduce quality systems that incorporate audits and feedback so that every part of the home and its services can be evaluated to ensure improvements are continuous.

Monthly Audits
On a monthly basis an external Consultant makes an unannounced visit to each home to audit all areas in accordance with the required Regulation 26 inspection.  A sample of residents, relatives and staff are interviewed and their views noted. The Consultant monitors key aspects of care to include resident falls, accidents and weights.  Resident care plans are inspected to ensure that each resident’s plan is reviewed on a monthly basis and accurately reflects their current situation. On each inspection visit a section of the home’s policies are audited and reviewed and this ensures that each of the policies is scrutinised at least once a year. Feedback from the visit is given to the Manager on the day of inspection.   All information from the visit is then collated and used as a basis for the monthly management meeting when any concerns can be addressed.

 

Customer
Satisfaction Surveys


Providing quality care and service is our
aim at all times, but of course, we need to
be sure that we are consistently meeting the
needs of our residents by using our standard
next of kin customer satisfaction
questionnaire. 

CQC REPORTS

The Care Quality Commission (CQC), formerly
the Commission for Social Care Inspection, regulates
and inspects all adult social care service in the public, private
and voluntary sectors in England. This used to involve giving a star quality
rating to all care homes: no stars indicated a poor home, 1 star an
adequate home, 2 stars a good home and 3 stars an excellent home.

Bankfield and Blackley are currently "adequate" homes with a one star rating.  We are confident of regaining our 2 star ratings however at present the QCQ are undergoing change and we are not able to be re rated following recent visits. However despite a recent dip in ratings due to past management process issues we never reduced our "good" key ratings for health and personal care, daily life and social activities, complaints and protection and choice of home.

Please come and visit us, meet the team and have a look at our homes. We can help you understand about residential care and dementia and the
limitations it brings and why full time professional care is best for everyone and we can help you through the minefield of funding.
