Progress for Providers in Care Homes is a self-assessment tool for managers to use with their staff to check how they are doing in delivering personalised support for people living in care homes. ‘Personalised Support’ is a key aim of national policy and means tailoring support to the individual, and enabling them to have as much choice and control over their service and life as possible, rather than supporting everyone in the same way. This means learning what matters to the person and ensuring that any support wanted or needed is shaped by this. Using person-centred thinking tools and approaches helps staff to provide the best support that they can in ways that reflect what is important to the person. Working in this way is not about doing more, but about doing things differently.
This publication is primarily for managers of residential care homes. It may also interest families who are looking for a care home or who want to know how person-centred the service is.
Bronze, Silver and Gold accreditation will help managers check their own progress over time and demonstrate publically that they are making continued progress along the road to truly person centred care. Those who have achieved the accreditation will be listed here.
