There are many benefits to choosing a CQC registered home care care provider over a non-registered service. Registered CQC care providers are audited and accountable to the relevant legislation. This is particularly important with personal care and medication where specialist training is needed to provide it safely.
People with personal budgets may feel tempted to opt for an unregistered provider due to lower hourly rates, but this can come with inherent risk. There is no overall accountability, meaning there are no checks and processes in place to ensure the person being cared for is safe from abuse, harm, and neglect.
Then there is the financial responsibility that also comes with hiring a non-registered home care provider. You will have to make sure the carer is paid, they have the correct insurance cover, sort out any pension contributions, holiday pay and resolve tax discrepancies. If they are ill and unable to make their appointments with you, you will also have to arrange cover.
With a CQC registered home care provider such as Nayland Care, you have none of these worries.
