We believe that residents deserve to be treated with the utmost dignity and respect and should be given all the assistance that they need by our staff to cope with any difficulties that might arise. We sincerely hope that any complaints will be of a nature that can be dealt with quickly and courteously at the time any particular incident occurs. Our policy is to develop and nurture a culture of openness at the Service that encourages people, relatives, friends and representatives of service users to feel free to express their opinion on any aspect of the running of the Service. In this way wishes of all parties can be taken into consideration and improvements can be made. Should it not be possible to resolve the matter informally then people or their representatives have the right in the first instance to contact the Registered Manager at the service address. Complaints will be dealt with speedily and efficiently and within 48 hours of having raised the concern we will agree a mutually convenient time and place to meet to discuss all concerns in an open manner and agree how to proceed. Should the complaint be made in writing, we guarantee to acknowledge it within three working days of its receipt. Our aim is to resolve the complaint within 28 days of its receipt but if for some reason this is not achievable, we will confirm why we have been unable to resolve it in the timescale and will give a revised date by which we expect to have dealt with the matter. A record will be kept at the Service of all complaints received together with details of the ensuing investigation and any action taken as a result of the complaint. All complaints will be investigated and resolved to the satisfaction of the person raising the complaint unless:- The complaint falls outside the remit of Windsar Care Ltd’s responsibility The complaint cannot be upheld. All outcomes will be carefully considered and used to reflect on the Services’s ability to achieve standards and adhere to required regulations or to assess any risk of not being able to. If the complaint concerns the Registered Manager directly, there is a right to see a Director representing Windsar Care Ltd, privately following which an investigation will occur in accordance with the process outlined above. If for any reason the complainant is not satisfied with the outcome of the investigation a request can be made for another Director representing the Registered Provider to review the investigation and the outcome and to consider any additional material that may have since come to light.
