| Annotation | Providing and demonstrating "quality care" is now the key to the future survival of every care home in the UK. With the introduction by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) of "quality ratings", the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment and the change in frequency of inspections, the challenge to providers is how effectively they can demonstrate the "quality care" they provide. This paper looks at the RDB Star Rating System which is an independent, rigorous, annual programme in client-focused assessment. It looks at how local partnerships are developed and how quality homes can receive additional quality premiums. It gives an insight into how the model and system work, the feedback the homes receive, and the benefits to the different parties. (RH). |
