We recognise care providers need solutions to demonstrate they go above and beyond government standards and guidelines, and we are committed to finding innovative ways to support them to do so.

Standards do inspire confidence.
In a guest column for @carehomepro our MD @LaterLifeExpert discusses the importance of high standards, and how #carehomes can use them to showcase their services and be a recruiter of choice.

Spending it all on care @holly_mead_ great article this morning. I can’t see a government solution materialising any time soon. Families need to make informed decisions about every aspect of the care, from finances to food.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. In fact the 2 go hand in hand together.
#WorldMentalHealthDay is an opportunity to remind ourselves, our friends, family & colleagues, to look after our minds, not just today, but every day.

We must redefine Hospital Discharge, and look at more streamlined ways to support people who are waiting to leave hospital and return to their own home or accommodation-based care.
#socialcare #healthcare #NHS #efficiency
23 Sep 2022
With winter nearly upon us, we have to find solutions to reduce pressure on the #NHS. We believe there are missed opportunities.
We urge discharge teams to review procedures & streamline services to reduce unnecessary occupied beds.
