For any Care home to receive an Outstanding accreditation from CQC they would have to prove a consistent level of high-quality care delivered by a dedicated team of professional staff members. They would have to record all relevant personal information clearly and precisely for every resident, the records should be up to date and filed securely according to Data Protection. The Care Homes cleaning and hygiene standards have to be exemplary and the kitchen and bathrooms spotless. All the rooms including the Communal areas should be fitted with new televisions so that the residents can enjoy watching quiz programmes, the history channel, films or musicals, soap operas, news items that might be of interest and exercise routines that will stimulate and encourage them to take part in physical activities.
To ensure a great reception on all their televisions, forward thinking Outstanding Care Homes use a professional engineer to provide a complete TV aerial installation Gloucester. In every resident’s room and in the communal lounges a highly trained aerial installation company and their dedicated team of friendly, professional engineers would have no problems making sure each television set had a crisp picture and clear sound. Keeping the cost competitive so that the Home can show the CQC evaluators that they are spending their money wisely. Activities and stimulation, whether physical or mental is a high priority to the panel of experts who will evaluate all the Care Homes in the Gloucestershire area.
The CQC or Care Quality Commission are the independent health regulator for England’s Adult Social Care. They look carefully into all Care Homes to make sure they are operating safely, that they are led by a secure and efficient management team, that they are effective, caring, compassionate and responsible for people’s needs. They respectfully allow their residents to live with dignity safe from abuse, that they provide nutritious and healthy meals with plenty of drinks supplied by happy and caring staff. The inspectors will speak to the management team, all staff members, volunteers, visitors, family members and of course the residents themselves. Only when all these exacting criteria are met can the CQC give an Outstanding review. Being awarded this high accolade means a great future for the Care Home, its Staff and Residents.
