Governance & Compliance
Care home boards are responsible for ensuring good governance, including assurance and auditing systems or processes, but sometimes lack the specialist knowledge to do so efficiently and effectively. Our compliance experts can act as an effective interface between your care home management team and the Board, and freeing the rest of the Board to focus on commercials and strategic direction.
Care Home Governance & Compliance
Care home providers are required by law to have systems and processes to ensure they meet their legal obligations to provide good governance (commonly known as Regulation 17). Providing this good governance oversight requires a lot of attention to small detail, whereas Boards – rightly – need to focus on the big picture. Your directors don’t have the time – or sometimes the specialist knowledge – to get bogged down in the minutiae of systems and processes, even though these are essential for the smooth running of your care home/s and for achieving favourable CQC Compliance ratings.
How we can help
Our compliance experts can ensure your care home/s meet the Regulation 17 requirements, helping your home to achieve the best possible CQC compliance ratings, while freeing the time of your directors to focus on the core business and its long-term goals.
