Care Home Audit Visits

A thorough audit of all the areas of your home will highlight any issues. Then you can address anything well before your next inspection – and ensure that you get another ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’.

Perhaps your manager undertakes regular audits already. But is it a bit of a tick box exercise for them? What if they are missing things?

If your home’s rating gets downgraded, you’ll be stuck with it for the next six months or a year. In that time, you won’t be able to attract residents, or your prices will seem too high. So you’ll lose revenue.

Undertaking an audit – or a full programme of audits – is good business practice. It will pick up on anything that your manager has missed. If you audit properly, it demonstrates that you are adhering to best practices. And you avoid all possibility of a bad CQC inspection.

You maybe don’t know what to look for, so a fresh pair of eyes from an experienced consultant will ensure that any operating issues are picked up.
