Ensuring Compliance with Regulation 17: Good Governance

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "Letter of Concern," and how can Fulcrum Care help us respond?

A “Letter of Concern” is a formal notification from the local authority highlighting significant issues in your care home, such as non-compliance with care standards or safety violations. If left unaddressed, it can lead to more severe actions like an embargo.

How Fulcrum Care Helps:

Regulatory Navigation: We liaise with local authorities and the CQC to ensure your care home responds effectively and meets all required standards.
Actionable Roadmap: We develop a clear, step-by-step action plan to resolve the concerns raised in the letter, covering care procedures, safeguarding protocols, and more.
Ongoing Monitoring: We continue to monitor the implementation of the plan to ensure long-term compliance and prevent further escalation.

What is an embargo, and how can Fulcrum Care help prevent one?

An embargo is a regulatory restriction that prevents a care home from admitting new residents. This can seriously affect the care home’s finances and reputation.

How Fulcrum Care Helps:

Immediate Compliance Review: We audit your care home’s practices to identify and address critical compliance issues before they lead to an embargo.
Corrective Actions: We implement effective, rapid solutions to address the root causes of regulatory concerns, whether it’s care quality, staffing, or facility issues.
Regulatory Mediation: We act as your liaison with regulators, ensuring clear communication and demonstrating your proactive efforts to improve.

What should we do if we receive a Section 31 Notice from the CQC?

A Section 31 Notice signals that your care home has serious compliance failures that require immediate corrective action. If not addressed, it can result in operational restrictions or even closure.

How Fulcrum Care Helps:

Deadline Management: We ensure all compliance deadlines are met, preventing further restrictions or penalties.
Comprehensive Support: Our team works with your staff to make the necessary changes—whether it’s staffing levels, care protocols, or management practices—so your care home can return to compliance quickly.
Inspection Readiness: We provide guidance and mock inspections to ensure your care home is fully prepared for upcoming CQC inspections, reducing the risk of further penalties.

How can Fulcrum Care help us during a regulatory crisis?

A regulatory crisis, such as receiving a “Letter of Concern” or a Section 31 notice, can feel overwhelming. Fulcrum Care specialises in helping care homes navigate these high-pressure situations.

How Fulcrum Care Helps:

Expert Guidance: We provide expert advice on managing communications with local authorities and the CQC, ensuring your care home understands and meets regulatory expectations.
Action Plans: We develop comprehensive action plans to address immediate concerns while creating sustainable improvements for the future.
Ongoing Support: We don’t just offer a quick fix—we work alongside your team to ensure all corrective measures are implemented and long-term compliance is achieved.

What are the long-term benefits of using Fulcrum Care’s turnaround services?

Fulcrum Care doesn’t just provide temporary solutions; we aim for lasting improvements that strengthen your care home’s operations and reputation.

Benefits of Our Services:

Operational Stability: We help your care home regain and maintain operational stability by resolving compliance issues and improving care quality.
Financial Viability: Our services prevent loss of revenue from embargos and help protect your financial health.
Enhanced Reputation: By improving compliance and care standards, your care home will regain trust with regulators, residents, and families, enhancing its reputation in the community.

How quickly can Fulcrum Care step in during a crisis?

How does Fulcrum Care ensure ongoing compliance after the crisis is resolved?

Monitoring: We continue to monitor your care home’s progress, providing regular check-ins and audits to ensure compliance is sustained.
