Health and social care are some of the most critical sectors in Havering. Havering Care for the elderly and adults at risk is an area that should be made easily accessible to all residents.
Why should it be difficult to access good quality care for your loved ones? So how can you decide which provider to trust in Havering?
The decision to take on a company to provide care for workers should be well thought out and planned. Each provider has its strengths, and you should check the market thoroughly before making a decision – But what should you be checking first?
Is the provider CQC Registered?
Before the pandemic, many providers could apply for CQC registration, give over the application reference number and then become insured by an insurance company. So, even if the business is unsuccessful in using the care quality commission, the insurance will still trade.
If a regulator does not oversee the care company, the standards and best practices can’t be inspected or checked. Therefore, there would be no way to know if the unregulated company is cutting corners or not following proper processes and procedures.
Also, if the reporting procedures are not transparent or you are not taking your complaints seriously, you won’t report them for improper conduct.
So it is always advised to use a CQC regulated company; you can find a good example here: https://www.cqc.org.uk/provider/1-11822621503.
Are they recognised by trustworthy sources? Have they had good reviews from customers or employees?
It is always worth checking the NHS website for registered providers. It will outlay their services, contact details, performance detail, etc. For example, you can find a company on the NHS website here: https://www.nhs.uk/Services/careproviders/Overview/DefaultView.aspx?id=166380.
Google reviews and reviews on our website can help too. Our employees and customers review our services regularly to help ensure that our service is fit for purpose and delivers on expectations.
