Crisis Management Plans
No matter how prepared you think you are, a crisis can happen at any time and, while you do your best to prevent them, it’s important to have a plan of action in case they do occur.
Having this solid plan in place can make all the difference, helping you deal with the matter swiftly and effectively.
With our crisis management service, you can rest assured knowing that you have a dedicated team of experts by your side, ready to step in and assist whenever needed.
We can help you deal with:
- Negative reviews;
- Poor CQC ratings;
- Negative media coverage;
- Staff on long-term sick leave;
- Managerial recruitment and retention challenges;
- Safeguarding concerns;
- The local authority and CQC.
Our crisis management plans include:
Project Management
We’ll work closely with you to develop a customised crisis management action plan, ensuring that all stakeholders are informed of the necessary steps to address the problem effectively.
Management and Staffing
From interim management solutions to sourcing qualified staff, we’ll help ensure that your care home maintains the right staffing levels and management support, even during the most challenging times.
Stakeholder Management
We’ll handle communication with your staff, residents, relatives, local authorities, and regulatory bodies, keeping everyone informed and updated throughout the crisis, and helping to mitigate any potential concerns.
Media Management
Our team will manage all aspects of media communication, including press releases and crisis communications. This will help to protect your care home’s reputation and maintain public trust.
Once the Crisis Has Passed: Handing Over
Once the crisis has passed, we’ll facilitate a smooth transition back to your regular management team, ensuring that operations resume seamlessly.
We’ll still be on hand should you have any further questions or delayed responses from external sources, but we’ll step away from the day-to-day to allow you to get back to a sense of normalcy within your care home.
Crisis Management Plans: Reactive or Proactive Approach
We do recommend putting something in place before a crisis occurs, though, as this gives you the best possible chance of reacting quickly and effectively.
At Fulcrum Care Consulting, we’re committed to helping care homes navigate through challenging times. With our crisis management plans in place, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re prepared for the unexpected.
