More than 40 private care homes throughout Leicestershire have been recognised in an awards event at County Hall, Glenfield.

The nursing and residential homes have earned Quality Assessment Framework (QAF) status at gold, silver or bronze level to illustrate they have exceeded the standard quality of service required by Leicestershire County Council.

The areas they have been judged on include positive outcomes for people receiving care, the range of activities undertaken, the environment in the care home as well as staff training.

The council has also awarded ‘Dignity in Care’ accolades to homes and day services which support people with a learning disability, and who provide a service which emphasises dignity and respect.

 

Ensuring high-quality care and support is being delivered by care homes is a council priority as it also provides important re-assurance to relatives and friends. I want to congratulate all the winners.

 

The awards were presented by Councillor Kevin Feltham, support member to Councillor Blunt.
