Charity in Barnet providing essential food for care staff

We're thrilled to share some heartwarming news that embodies the spirit of community and care. Our local partnership with Harvest Church in Wembley has blossomed into a meaningful collaboration that goes beyond the traditional realms of support.

In a beautiful display of solidarity, Harvest Church has extended a helping hand to some of our dedicated care professionals who may be facing challenges. They are generously providing nourishing meals to those who may need a little extra support during these times.

Quality Spotlight

Safe Guarding

We actively collaborate with individuals to ensure their safety and work closely with partners to devise effective strategies. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for our clients while safeguarding their rights. Recently, we conducted a Safeguarding Refresher Week for our care professionals, reinforcing their knowledge on identifying and reporting safeguarding concerns.

Treating people as individuals

We're committed to learning, innovation, and continuous improvement. Embracing creative approaches, we aim to enhance equality of experience, outcome, and quality of life. Our latest training resource, available on our website, empowers care professionals with the best practices to elevate the quality of care for our clients.

Learning, improvement and innovation

We prioritise individualised care, ensuring support aligns with specific needs, preferences, and strengths. Embracing a culture of learning, improvement, and innovation, we recently had a client with learning difficulties take a significant step forward by gaining work experience at our Watford office—a testament to our commitment to continuous growth and empowerment.

Home Care - News and Updates

The CQC has just released a new framework essential for our success

Thrilling updates are here! The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has rolled out a ground-breaking Single Assessment Framework, reshaping how we’re evaluated. It’s a game-changer for CCCS this year. Click here to find out more!

Key Points

The latest CQC Quality Statements, also known as ‘We Statements,’ outline essential commitments for providers, commissioners, and system leaders. Aligned with the five key questions of the CQC’s inspection framework, they cover safety, effectiveness, compassion, responsiveness, and leadership. From safe environments and effective staffing to compassionate care and workforce well-being, these statements guide the delivery of high-quality, person-centred care and support the CQC’s mission to promote excellence in health and social care services.

What Does All of this Mean?

Individuals will receive care, treatment, and support grounded in evidence-based practices and aligned with good practice standards. Care providers’ systems will ensure that employees stay updated on evidence-based good practices, required standards, and national legislation.

People will be informed about current good practices relevant to their care and will actively participate in incorporating them into their care plans. Nutrition and hydration needs will be addressed following current guidance.

Both employees and their leaders are encouraged to explore new and advanced methods. Research indicates that adopting these practices may enhance the way services deliver care.

Next Steps for CCCS

In navigating the evolving landscape, CCCS recognises the importance of adaptation. Embracing change, we encourage a thorough review of internal processes to ensure alignment with the new Quality Statements and forthcoming Evidence Categories. This shift promises a more streamlined and tailored structure, specifically designed for various service types. Let’s collectively stand as a beacon of excellence in homecare, showcasing our commitment to delivering exceptional services at CCCS.

Cheers to a year of growth, resilience, and unwavering commitment to exceptional care!

Care Research

In our ongoing dedication to continual enhancement and in harmony with the recently partnered with Care Research for our 2024 quality surveys.

Care Research functions independently and has established an exclusive online link for your participation in the survey.

Each member of our current staff has been provided with a questionnaire to complete at their earliest convenience.
