📰 Important Update in Social Care! 📰 Recent reports indicate that one in five care homes in England is now rated "requires improvement" or "inadequate" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). 🏡🚨 The new Labour government aims to set minimum standards for social care, including pay and conditions for carers. This is a crucial step towards ensuring the well-being and safety of residents. 🧑⚕️💪 In light of this, we at Network Healthcare are committed to providing exceptional care and support. We believe in continuous improvement and transparency to protect and enhance the lives of those we care for. 💖 Read more about the current state of care homes and the experiences of those affected: https://lnkd.in/eERywDsR #SocialCare #HomeCare #CareStandards #QualityCare #CQC #HealthcareReform #SupportOurCarers

Mixed news for the #SocialCare sector in the Autumn Budget! Critical funding gaps have not received enough attention. While the government provided some additional funding to social care, from what we understand so far, this has not been ringfenced to encourage investment in much-needed preventative technology which can stem the flow of pressure to other front-line services. The reality is that #AdultSocialCare is still facing a massive £2.2 billion shortfall as highlighted by Care England recently. The £600 million in new grant funding for social care, while welcome, falls far short of what's needed to stabilise the sector. As our CEO Richard Keyse stated, "the opportunity to move to a safer, proactive, and preventative solution is fast being lost." The care crisis won't be solved overnight, but the #AutumnBudget was a missed opportunity for the government to take bold, transformative action. Our vulnerable older population deserves so much better. #TechnologyEnabledCare
