How to Maximize ROI on Quality Assurance for your Care Home.

The recent changes to NIC rates in the 2024 Autumn Budget, raising the rate from 13.8% to 15% have significantly increased payroll costs for businesses across the UK.

Smart employers are seeking ways to reduce operational expenses, especially given the other financial pressures like the rising National Minimum Wage and many other employer obligations​...

Because of issues like these, care homes often have their hands full and miss out on ROI opportunities due to inefficient feedback systems. Here’s what a lack of actionable feedback can cost you:

🔴 Underperforming Surveys
↳ Low response rates resulting in incomplete data
↳ Missed chances to understand resident, staff, and visitor satisfaction
↳ Wasted resources on outdated feedback methods

🔴 Compliance Risks
↳ Surveys that don’t meet Accessible Information Standards
↳ Falling short of CQC requirements, risking low ratings
↳ Lacking evidence to showcase quality assurance efforts

🔴 Inefficient Processes
↳ Spending time analyzing incomplete feedback manually
↳ No system to identify actionable trends or patterns
↳ Overwhelmed staff unable to focus on care improvements

These are massive issues that you are going to have to face, but thankfully, we can talk about saving your money with a great ROI with our proven CareSurv service:

Be honest... do any of your Care Home residents have Dementia?

If so, you're not alone. Around 70% of care home residents live with some form of dementia.

This means most care teams are not just caregivers—they're lifelines for residents navigating memory loss, confusion, and behavioural changes. But here’s the hard truth: dementia care requires specialized skills and deeper understanding than many staff currently receive.

Are your team members:

❓ Struggling to manage challenging behaviours?

❓ Unsure how to communicate effectively with residents experiencing memory loss?

❓ Feeling overwhelmed or ill-equipped to provide truly person-cantered dementia care?

Without in-depth training, even the most compassionate staff can feel stuck—and residents may miss out on the dignity and quality of life they deserve.

For this exact reason, we provide Dementia Champion Training for you. Covering seven vital modules, this course is designed to transform your approach to dementia care.

✔️ Learn how to positively communicate and build trust.

✔️ Gain tools to handle difficult behaviours with confidence.

✔️ Understand the nuances of person-cantered care for residents with dementia.

Your staff will leave not only with a certificate and badge but with the confidence to provide care that truly makes a difference.

With options for virtual or in-person training, it’s easier than ever to empower your team and elevate your care standards.

Modern care home practices need improvement.

But we all pretend that's not true.

Your "typical" days include:

🔴 Compliance Chaos
↳ Struggling to keep up with constantly changing CQC regulations
↳ Last-minute panic before inspections
↳ Paperwork piling up with no system to manage it
↳ Stressing over audits that could make or break your reputation

🔴Training Gaps
↳ Staff left to figure things out on their own
↳ Inconsistent training that leaves staff underprepared
↳ No time to upskill employees while managing the day-to-day
↳ Reactive, not proactive, when it comes to training needs

🔴Outdated Tech
↳ Implementing systems that don’t talk to each other
↳ Spending hours on digital tools that don’t make sense
↳ Using outdated tech that slows everything down
↳ Feeling left behind as other care homes go digital

🔴Operational Inefficiency
↳ Wasting time on manual processes instead of providing care
↳ Unnecessary delays in communication and decision-making
↳ Systems that aren’t aligned with your care home’s needs
↳ Staff overwhelmed by tasks that should be automated

🔴Staff Turnover
↳ High turnover because staff feel unsupported
↳ Lack of recognition and training leading to disengagement
↳ Employees leaving because they don’t see growth opportunities
↳ Burnout from staff taking on too much without proper training

Now this post isn’t here to remind you of all the bad.

🟢It’s actually a list of things that don’t have to be this way.
