How often should a care home be audited?

Best practice is monthly audits across key areas (medication, infection control, care plans, environment) with a comprehensive governance review quarterly. Our Enhanced and Premium tiers build this rhythm for you.

What happens during a mock inspection?

We simulate CQC methodology across all five key questions — Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-Led. You receive a RAG-rated report with prioritised actions, exactly like a real inspection feedback report.

Can you help us move from Requires Improvement to Good?

Yes. Our Enhanced tier is specifically designed for services aiming to improve their rating, with monthly reviews, action tracking, and structured improvement cycles.

Do you work with care home groups or just single homes?

Both. The platform handles multi-location oversight, and our Premium tier provides named-expert support with governance reporting suitable for providers, owners, or board-level review.

The Compliance Risks Residential Care Homes Providers Face

Falls Prevention

Falls are the most common serious incident in care homes. CQC expects robust risk assessment, post-fall protocols, and trend analysis.

Nutrition & Hydration

Weight loss, dehydration, and mealtime management failures feature heavily in CQC enforcement decisions.

DoLS & Mental Capacity

Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards compliance is complex. Missing authorisations or capacity assessments are a regulatory red flag.

Governance & Oversight

Registered managers are stretched thin. Audit slippage, action plan drift, and weak governance reporting undermine Well-Led ratings.
