Care home Quality Standards
Anchor care homes are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC undertake regular inspections of all care homes to ensure that they meet outlined standards in 5 areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led. The latest inspection reports can be found on the respective homes’ page on the Anchor website and on the CQC website via the link below. Reports not only include the inspector’s findings but also feedback from residents, their families and staff members. You can visit their website at www.cqc.org.uk .
Life in a care home Mixed emotions are not unusual among relatives when a loved one moves into a care home. Care homes have a lot more to offer than just a room and meals. Care homes aim to improve the quality of life of the residents living there. A good home will work with a resident and their loved ones to ensure that the journey into care from enquiry to moving in is as smooth as possible. They will find out as much as possible to help welcome new residents and their routines, preferred activities and interests as well as their life stories.
