Meet Compliance Regulations and Ensure Residents’ Safety
Care homes are subject to strict compliance regulations. This is to ensure consistently high standards of service and safety for this vulnerable sector of the population. Safety and wellbeing of residents are paramount for all care providers.
In busy care homes, thorough compliance processes can be resource- and administration-intensive. However, the risk of human error can have dire consequences. In the worst case, it can lead to injury, illness, or even fatalities. In turn, this can result in criminal proceedings, business disruption or closure, and very poor public perception.
The Care Quality Commission and Care Homes Compliance
Standardised practice regulations and oversight are provided by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC conducts inspections and ranks facilities. Non-compliance can result in fines and prosecutions, criminal convictions, revocation of CQC registration, and cancellation of the right to offer care.
CQC inspections centre around five areas: ensuring that care is safe, responsive, well-led, capable, and effective. Additionally, their fundamental standards include 16 areas. For our purposes, these include resident safety, person-centred care, and the good maintenance of premises and equipment.
