The social care sector is in crisis because most care homes are not run as financially strong, healthy businesses and year on year record numbers of care (residential and nursing) homes are going insolvent.With my wife, who has owned nursing homes for 20 years, we help struggling care homes succeed.I have worked in the electronics industry for 20 plus years, founded a software company and have been a consultant for small business owners for 10 years, focusing on the social care sector for the last 3.I know how to build businesses based on strong, solid foundations and even wrote a best-selling book on the subject.Financial strength is the first step. A care provider cannot run a strong care home that delivers quality care on the fees that Local Authorities and CCGs are willing to pay. We help them work out the fees they really need that will ensure the right care is delivered by well-trained carers and nurses.I have created the Quality Care Calculator. An online tool that helps care providers set the individual fees they really need.With the right fees we then help with training, with systemising their care homes so that they run as efficiently and effectively as possible and with legislative compliance. The latter includes a GDPR Care Home Compliance Pack which will help care home become GDPR compliant which is the first step to acquiring an essential nhs.net account.I have also written a number of shorter eBooks:-THE SECRET TO A SUCCESSFUL CARE HOME BUSINESS highlights the number 1 priority for making sure your care home succeeds.-WHY MOST BUSINESSES FAIL reveals the one reason why most businesses struggle and fail and the one difference between those and businesses that thrive and grow.-HOW STRONG IS YOUR BUSINESS? describes 4 levels of strength that are essential if a business is to achieve its goals and grow. The eBook includes a ‘strength test’ against which you can score your own business. It also includes a link to the audio book version.I have also created a Health Check Tool for Care Homes which will help you assess the strengths and weaknesses of your care home and where you need to focus your efforts on making it strong.We need our social care sector and care homes to succeed and it starts with making care homes financially strong.► If you’re interested in learning more about how I can help you establish a strong, successful care home email me at help@qualityofcare.co.uk
