Fulcrum Care is proud to announce that we’re celebrating our fifth year of award-winning care home consultancy. Needless to be say, it’s been a challenging – but highly rewarding – journey. Here’s how we’ve got here – and where we’re going next.
Five years of care sector consultancy
A lot can happen in five years – especially in the ever-changing landscape of social care. The role of a professional care consultant is very hands-on, requiring an up-to-date knowledge of the latest social care regulations, creative solutions to unique challenges, as well as a strong understanding of what it means to deliver an outstanding quality of care. This has meant that we have always worked very closely with care home providers, owners and managers as members of their team, guiding them through often complex issues with the strategy and oversight to improve their Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings, create a better care service environment for residents and ultimately improve their commercials.Our care consultancy in numbers
Following the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve achieved some amazing highlights. These include:- Helping over 150 care homes meet up-to-date compliance targets and improve their ratings
- Supporting more than 112 care home providers to improve their service and commercials
- Assembling a team of 18 professional care consultants, with around-the-clock support for our clients
- Saving over 16 care homes from urgent closure with innovative solutions
- Introducing 10+ care management teams to our Quality Management System to future-proof their procedures.
Award-winning care consultancy
Our achievements haven’t gone unnoticed! Outside of the kind reviews and testimonials of our care home clients, we’re also delighted to have been recognised at the influential Leaders in Care Awards, winning the Best Business Services category in 2021. We were also included in Care Home Professional’s Best Products & Services of 2021 for our Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Health Checks service.Expert support for care home providers
Our team of experts have joined us from a wide range of backgrounds in the health and care sectors, but all share our core values of thinking differently and always doing what is best for the care homes we work with and for their residents. This has led us to support care home providers, owners and management teams across a variety of complex challenges, from repurposing unused care facilities into entirely new operations that helped to relieve the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic, to providing the confidence and assurances needed for a new care home provider to secure an investment.Accessible, affordable, professional support for all care homes
We believe that all care providers deserve equal and affordable access to the most current care systems and standards, to ensure the best quality of care for their residents. So, whether it’s assisting care management teams in the shift to data-driven reporting and regulation, or providing the essential toolkits that make a lasting and sustainable difference, our consultants are here to help. If you are a care home provider, owner or manager who would like expert advice on how our team can help support your care home, then please get in touch. We have a free range of downloadable resources for care homes available on our website, such as our 26-page e-brochure, ‘Recruitment and Occupancy: How to win the key battles for care homes in 2022’, to inspire better care management, increase resident satisfaction and improve your care home’s commercials through any challenges you may face.Here’s to the next five years of helping social care!
