QMS

You want to trust that your care home manager is doing a good job, But you can’t be there all the time to oversee them,

So how do you truly know if they are leading the staff well? Can you be absolutely sure that they and the team are providing a safe and responsive environment? Are you certain that your residents are being well cared for?

Run your home well and prove it

You can’t afford to wait until your next inspection to find out if your home is failing. That would be business suicide.
