What Makes for Good Quality Care in Residential Settings?

Being relatively still new to social care I need to ensure that I find out more about legislation and the essential care standards set down by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) and as Registered Manager the requirements for reporting and providing person centred care.

What can carers and care workers do to help make transitions in care a positive experience?

The Care Quality Commission makes sure that hospitals, care homes, dental and GP surgeries, and all other care services in England provide people with safe, effective, compassionate and high quality care, and they encourage these services to make improvements.

working in the care environment we must ensure safe and good practise is provided. We are influenced and have such provides to help us gain knowledge such as national factors such as; codes of practise, national occupational standards, legislations and government initiatives. Working in the care environment it is an legal requirement to have an inspection every now and then, which must meet agreed national standards. If not, to result in the home being shut down. Also, the ways of working are set out in legislation and government papers. Every nursing home will have there own policy and procedures which you are able to read for guidance.

A reoccurring issue such as bedsores is something nursing home facilities try their best to prevent. Unfortunately, the rate at which it is occurring in our nursing home is 12%, a little higher than that of the national average. This is a number that we as a facility are not proud of, and as Director of Quality Improvement, new strategies will be implemented to improve the quality of care in which our patients are receiving. This simple plan mimics that of the FOCUS PDSA and can be broken down into a few steps in order to be better assessed. The first step involves creating a team of employees to research and better understand the main source of the bedsores. The second step includes developing a strategy, without any errors, within the team

My opinion about the book is that if the Health Care industry will adapt to Disney’s approach to quality care, the patients would feel more cared for, and staff would feel more valued. Therefore, the organizations would operate successful cultures to deliver effective high quality care. My goal is to implement a customer service program for the organization that would help them tackle the often challenging role of exceeding customer

I think residential care is good for children. Residential can teach children a lot of thing in order to become an independent adult. These residential homes provide housing, meal services and assistance with daily living activities. They teach them how to live on their own. Once they learn how to live own their own the child have permission to leave the home. They also provide education tutoring to the kids and they may not learn as much as people do in public school or even private school students do. They do get some education and some or better than nothing at all. It teach children how to provide for themselves and become mature. Having someone to help you with what you going through can be a big help in children lives. Being able to get

There are several items that can impact the quality of care a patient receives. Judy Smetzer identifies fourteen of these in her 1998 article “Lesson From Colorado: Beyond Blaming Individuals.” This paper will focus on two of these items, which relate to lack of information, incomplete clinical information and insufficient drug information.

When patients are involved in their health care there will be no communicating gap between patient and their provides.

Many of you have visited a nursing home at least once in your life. Maybe you work in a nursing home, or have a loved one that resides there. Think back to one time when you were at a nursing home.
