QUALITY ASSURANCE DECEMBER 2020/ JANUARY 2021

We would like to thank you for taking the time to complete our Quality Assurance Feedback form over December 2020/ January 2021. This information affords us the opportunity to provide the best possible care to our clients and allows us to implement improvements on an on-going basis ensuring we are taking on board your views, wants and needs, ensuring each package of care is person centred.

Our feedback forms were altered this year, we changed a few questions to include our response and communication during the current COVID- 19 pandemic and allowed individuals to provide comments on each question to receive more specific feedback.

We sent feedback forms to our clients; their families and health professionals and we had an excellent response which we are very grateful for. The feedback form was based on Care Quality Commission’s regulatory framework which sets out five ‘domains’ of assessment which are as follows: safe; effective; caring; responsive to people’s needs; and well-led.

Overall, we found that the majority of our clients, their family members and the healthcare professionals we work with are happy with the service that we provide.

We would like to say a big ‘thank you’, to all our clients for your kind words and constructive feedback. As always, do not hesitate to contact us at any time with further feedback. We are always evolving and learning new ways to deliver a high standard of care which we hope reflects in our performance as care givers.

Please note that certain questions within the survey were not relevant to all our clients. Where the question was not relevant, or the respondent answered ‘not applicable’ we have calculated the percentages accordingly. We were very encouraged that not one question was answered as ‘never’ achieved.

We did receive some specific comments with regards to aspects of care in the additional comments section. These points have been included in our action plan following on from this audit and the clients or their family members contacted accordingly.

Our Quality Assurance Survey for December 2020/ January 2021 has given us an average ‘Always’ response of 96.7% from those surveyed. We are extremely happy with this result and will endeavour to continue providing the highest level of live-in care to our clients.
