The Care Quality Commission

The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. They monitor, inspect, and regulate health and social care services, and publish their findings to help people make informed decisions about their care.

Being regulated by the CQC means that we must comply with their stringent standards. We have regular in-house audits to complement the external audits that the CQC put in place.

We constantly monitor the service we provide by:

  • Regularly meeting with our clients
  • Regularly carrying out reviews with our carers
  • Surveying our clients and acting upon their feedback to ensure we continually improve
  • Investing in systems that mean we always monitor the care being provided and the standard of service being delivered

 

Care Quality Commission

The Homecare Association

The HomeCare Association has been raising the standard of homecare for over 25 years. As a member-led professional association, their mission is to promote high quality, sustainable care services so that people can continue to live at home and in their local community.

The Homecare Association is the professional association of home care providers from the independent, voluntary, not-for-profit and statutory sectors. The HomeCare Association helps organisations that provide social care (also known as domiciliary care or homecare), which may include nursing services, to people in their own homes, promoting high standards of care and providing representation with national and regional policy-makers and regulators. The Association represents over two-thousand members across the United Kingdom, in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

 

The Live-in Care Hub

Our founder, Trudi Scrivener, is a founding member of the Live-in Care Hub, a not-for-profit organisation committed to raising the quality of care in the UK by giving people the opportunity to be cared for at home, where they can still feel part of everyday life.

Founded in 2013, all care providers within the group share a vision to enlighten people on the benefits of live in care, guaranteeing the very highest standards.

 

Skills for Care

Our training programmes exceed the recognised standards set by the Care Certificate

All our staff are trained using the nationally recognised standard of the Care Certificate. These standards are set by Skills for Care (www.skillsforcare.org.uk) and form the basis of inductions for all staff in a caring profession.

The Care Certificate provides a level of confidence, as all workers receive the same induction, regardless of where they work. They learn the same skills and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe, and high-quality care and support.

Here at Ashridge Home Care, we also provide an enhanced level of training, as it’s so important that our carers are aligned to our company values – demonstrating person-centred support for individuals, working around their own preferences and routines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Care Campaign For The Vulnerable

Care Campaign For The Vulnerable champions the work that dedicated carers are doing for elderly individuals and families across the UK. In 2018, one of Ashridge Home care’s own carers, Amy Collins, was awarded Outstanding Carer of the year.

We take pride in working with carers who share our values and who are committed to providing excellent care to those in need. It is this dedication from our carers which helps us to offer award winning care.

“Our carer is so wonderful and we wouldn’t want to lose her – she has been excellent looking after my father, the dogs and the house while my mother has been in hospital.”

“I and indeed the whole family are most appreciative of your warmth and kindnesses.”
