About Us (continued)

Well Lead

Our service is Led by a registered manager who ensure that small teams of care workers are developed to support service users in an area. Each member of the team will have the responsibility for ensuring the team acts in a person-centred way and is open, inclusive and empowering.

Each service user we support will have a link worker who will be responsible for setting up and regularly reviewing a service user care plan and risk assessment.

The link worker will ensure the care provided to this service user is of a consistent, high quality nature.

Our focus will always be maximising the health and well-being of our service users and doing everything we can to help them maintain and grow their personal freedoms and engagement with people and communities in which they live.

Monthly care package reviews will be carried out by the Registered manager to review risk, compliments and complaints together with staff levels, skill mix and staff attendance. Monitoring safety through a range of evidence with the need and expectation of all parties involved will ensure multi-disciplinary care planning and client-centred delivery.

Staff Well-Being & Support

An “open door” policy is adopted to give every employee their own voice and allow them every opportunity to communicate any problem areas or performance issues they might be dealing with.

A robust process of appraisals, mini-reviews, spot-checks, regular chats and meetings ensure that all workers have a chance to be heard and are reminded of our core principles and approach to care. The needs and values of all people, including our workers, are very important.

We proactively develop a culture of mutual respect and responsibility and ensure that all things that make our workers unique are appropriately valued and certainly not discriminated against.

We recognise that our workers are carrying a lot of responsibility. They have all round access to support and guidance so that they can make decisions and manage situations effectively and with confidence.

Complaints Procedure

We believe that complaints and compliments are a valuable indicator of the quality of our service, and an opportunity to improve that quality. We assure the service user that no one will be victimised for making a complaint, we encourage service users to instigate the complaints procedure whenever they feel that it is necessary. We do not like to confine complaints to major issues.

We encourage service users to comment when relatively minor matters are a problem to them, such as receiving cold food, getting kept waiting without explanation or being spoken to in a manner that they do not like. It is our policy that all matters which disturb or upset our service users should be reported and recorded, with appropriate corrective action being taken. Only in that way can we work towards meeting our aim of continuously improving our service.

Our commitment is that:

  • All complaints will be taken seriously
  • All complaints will be acted upon with fairness and impartiality
  • A response will be provided within 24 hrs of the complaint being made, and a final reply within 28 days
  • If the complaint is upheld, a formal written apology will be issued and appropriate action will be taken to rectify the complaint. You will be kept informed of what that action is.
  • Service Users are entitled to involve an impartial third party in the complaint procedure if they wish.

 

The service users or their representatives may take their complaints to the persons in authority outside the business if theyíre not happy with the results they have been given.

Service users funded all/part by Social Services or Clinical Commissioning Group, should address their complaint in the first instance to appropriate organisation.

For wholly privately funded service users, a range of advocacy services are available locally and they will be happy to help you deal with the complaint. In the event of a serious issue or complaint, a service user should contact the CQC directly.
