Enhancing Care Quality: The Value of CQC-Registered Carers in Enfield

Selecting a home care provider is a significant decision with wide-ranging implications for both you and your loved ones. At Right at Home, we are proud of the exceptional quality of care we provide in Enfield. That’s why, we regularly undergo inspections from the national health and social care regulator: the Care Quality Commission (CQC).  These inspections serve to safeguard the wellbeing of our Clients and ensure excellent working conditions for our highly trained CareGivers.

This blog post will address what the CQC is and why opting for a CQC-regulated home care provider is beneficial.

What is the Care Quality Commission (CQC)?

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England, sponsored by the Department of Health and Social Care. The CQC ensures the delivery of safe, effective, compassionate and high-quality health and social care services.

The CQC achieves its mission by:

• Monitoring, inspecting and rating services to ensure they meet essential standards of quality and safety.
• Implementing enforcement measures as needed to prevent and address risks that could impact client wellbeing.
• Publishing reports and performance ratings to help people make informed decisions about their care options.
• Registering care providers before they can operate to ensure ongoing compliance.
• Providing guidance and support to care providers to enhance the quality of their services.

The 5 CQC Domains in Enfield, at a Glance

The five key questions below help CQC inspectors assess the quality and safety of home care services:

• Is it responsive? Ensuring that care is person-centred and responsive to people's needs
• Is it effective? Focusing on the delivery of care, treatment, and support that achieves good outcomes and promotes a high quality of life.
• Is it safe? Ensuring that people are protected from abuse and avoidable harm.
• Is it caring? Assessing whether individuals are treated with compassion, dignity, and respect.
• Is it well-led? Focusing on the leadership, management, and governance of the organisation to ensure it delivers high-quality care.

Homecare is a very personal service that relies on trust. Accreditation from an independent authority underpins that essential trust in your Carer.

Why we value being regulated by the CQC

Opting for a homecare provider without CQC's independent regulation can result in significant consequences. The absence of CQC’s approval means, there is no external assurance regarding the quality of care you may receive. In the most severe situations, this lack of regulation could pose risks to Clients, underscoring the importance of our CQC regulated services.
