💚 Attention Managers, Area/Regional Managers, and Directors of Residential and Nursing Homes! As the demand for personalised care in residential and nursing homes continues to grow, I would like to know: What do you think has the greatest impact on improving the quality of care for patients and residents? 1. CQC Communication and Standards: Clear and consistent communication from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) regarding standards and expectations, providing guidance and clarity to care providers. 2. Staff Training and Education: Upskilling staff to enhance their understanding of complex care needs and management. 3. Use of Technology: Leveraging tools such as Medication Management Systems or Patient Record Management Systems to boost efficiency, improve accuracy, and save time, allowing staff to dedicate more attention to patients/residents. 4. Staffing Levels: Ensuring optimal staffing levels to provide more one-on-one time with residents, reducing employee stress and improving individualised care. I'm really interested in getting your thoughts and insights on this! #Healthcare #ElderCare #NursingHomes #ResidentialCare #CareQuality #StaffTraining #HealthcareTechnology #CQCStandards #CareManagement #QualityCare #HealthcareLeadership
