QUALITY

We will only work with a limited number of people in order to ensure that all decisions are made with customers directly in mind. It is important that management staff knows the customer and the important people in their life. We believe this enables us to build on the quality of the services we provide.

As a management team, we continuously ask how we know things are happening in ways they should? In order to make sure they are, we do the following things:

  • Monthly Service Checks with each customer
  • Attendance at Team Meetings
  • Provide open access to the management team
  • Read the daily records from each service every month and question anything that doesn’t match the plan
  • Check the charts that the person has for example Menu Planners and food charts
  • Medication Audits
  • Reviews of incidents, accidents, ABC records and reports of concern
  • Provide 24 hour on call including bank holidays and weekends

In addition, we use quality checking tools to ensure that we are giving people the support they want and need, when they want and need it and in the way they want it. We also avail the services of local Quality Checkers such as People First Dorset to independently check our services at regular intervals.

We have been awarded kitemarks by Quality Checkers.
