Our Care Home Inspections
A CiUK care home inspection is designed to support care homes through continuous improvement. Our inspections offer an objective and comprehensive review of all functions of a care home based on evidence, providing an accurate quality assessment. We present evidence as a detailed report detailing all the service’s compliant and non-compliant aspects, providing a complete overview.
Our inspections assess ten key areas.
- Quality
- Health and safety and environment
- Infection control and cleanliness
- Safeguarding, consent, dignity and user involvement
- Individualised care and treatment
- Nutrition and catering
- Medication management
- Management of the service
- Human resources
- Marketing and business development
Using Technology to Improve Quality
At CiUK, we have developed an app-based system for gathering, recording, analysing, and reporting care home inspection data.
CAREINSPECT® reduces individual interpretations by inspectors by gathering and presenting accurate and current information that can be used by the care home to improve quality and performance.
Experienced Care Home Inspectors
Our inspectors have a wealth of care sector experience and have worked with or alongside regulatory bodies for many years.
With experience managing care homes or having held significant roles in social care or the NHS, our inspectors deeply understand regulatory compliance and care quality.
Tangible Evidence
Following a CiUK inspection, we will provide a detailed inspection report. Compliant care homes will also be awarded a Care Inspections UK certificate. Together, the report and certificate provide tangible evidence that a care home has reached a high standard of compliance and is committed to continuous quality improvement.
Improved Ratings Guaranteed
We guarantee improved regulatory ratings and performance for care homes that CiUK has inspected and that act on non-compliances detailed in our report.
