What do you get if you cross an electrician and a psychiatric nurse practitioner? Inadequate care for vulnerable people. At least that’s the case here.

What do you get if you cross an electrician and a psychiatric nurse practitioner? Inadequate care for vulnerable people. At least that’s the case here. Whenever I see a CQC report with this many domains marked inadequate I have to dig a little deeper. I usually start on the CQC’s own website. Which on this […]

Last wk I wrote about the hypocrisy of a UK care provider 'celebrating' their apparent award wining care, while people they are paid to support lived non-lives.

Yesterday CQC, the UK #healthcare #SocialCare regulator published another report into a service of theirs providing inadequate care.

14 breaches of regulations, 10 for almost a year https://www.georgejulian.co.uk/2022/12/04/achieve-together-failing-again/

georgejulian.co.uk » Achieve Together… failing again

A couple days ago I wrote a post about Achieve Together collecting awards for supposed excellence from Laing Buisson, at the very same time as the health and social care regulator, CQC, were finding their services to be failing people, not just a little, but a lot. Today I’m back with another new report from […]

One relative told us "[Family member's] life has become significantly smaller since living there, they can no longer do the things they used to enjoy doing and have lost a lot of skills."

Two more updates on social care for learning disabled and/or autistic people that CQC have recently rated inadequate. You can see all the reports on the Curated Content section of my site here, if you’d like to just go straight to the relevant CQC information without my commentary. First up today, Heathcotes Yorkshire Supported Living, […]

@StefBenstead I question why charities are providing care at all, if it is not to set an example and be outstanding.

I completely agree #socialcare isn't adequately funded.

I also question why #charities are courting the media with stories about the supposed social care crisis, without addressing their own failings first.

LC have had no care rated outstanding in last two years, but several homes rated #CQCinadequate.

This is another one from July https://api.cqc.org.uk/public/v1/reports/5a580cb5-87bb-40f1-bc1f-715ea102e471?20220719120000

@StefBenstead I'm not sure I buy this line from Leonard Cheshire tbh.

It's not simply about LAs failing to provide real costs (altho that I don't doubt at all) but that is also about LC failing to negotiate effectively with commissioners.

It is also about them running hugely expensive housing stock and providing utterly degrading and inhumane care in some of their homes, such as this one that warehouses over 30ppl https://api.cqc.org.uk/public/v1/reports/9b831bba-6d61-4367-8f81-4ef912dad172?20220218130000

I hate awards. For numerous reasons, mostly because they're self selecting, inherently biased, subjective, and usually a big fat money maker.

Today I wrote about Achieve Together, winners of 2022 LaingBuisson Award, and the inadequate care they're delivering, according to CQC https://www.georgejulian.co.uk/2022/11/29/achieve-together-award-winning-specialist-care-that-cqc-consider-to-be-inadequate/

I'll do a thread too, with replies unlisted so pls boost if you think ppl would be interested

I’ve been reporting on the care services that CQC have found to be inadequate routinely for five months now and one of the providers that come up time and again are Achieve Together. If you were to pop over to their website right now you could be mistaken for thinking you were at the wrong […]

Today's review of two inadequate care homes for learning disabled and autistic people in England, as judged by the regulator, the Care Quality Commission.

This is the first blog post reporting on the detail of Care Quality Commission reports finding inadequate care, that I’ve written, rather than sharing the information on Twitter. Consider it a little experimental, I’m going to pick and choose what to highlight and would welcome feedback on whether its useful. Given the number of reports […]
