The Old Hall care home in Fiskerton celebrates being one of top in UK as Care Quality Commission finds establishment ‘Outstanding’
A care home has been rated one of the best in the UK following its ‘outstanding’ inspection rating.
The Old Hall in Fiskerton is one of 4% to receive this level of praise from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), putting it on top with the others.
Some notable comments were on its “person-centred” care, support and culture as well as its ability to support individuals to “maintain as much independence as possible and live a meaningful life”.
It is one of 11 branches run by Home From Home Care, an organisation founded in 2004 which specialises in looking after adults with learning disabilities and autism.
“We are delighted that CQC inspectors have recognised that The Old Hall and our exceptional team are truly ‘Outstanding’,” said Jo Hurley, managing director of Home From Home Care.
“The report highlighted how our colleagues go ‘above and beyond, bringing out the best for the individual’.
“We are driven to improve each individual’s life, from their bespoke environment designed around their specific needs to an empathetic support team who want to make every day fulfilling.
“It’s widely known that there is a great deal of pressure on the care sector, from workforce challenges to funding, but we’re breaking the mould and using ingenuity and compassion to deliver exceptional care.”
In addition to its overall rating, the care home was also rated ‘Outstanding’ in the categories of ‘responsive’ and ‘well-led’, scoring 93 and 96 out of 100 points respectively.
It was also graded “Good” in the categories of ‘safe’, ‘effective’ and ‘caring’.
Paul de Savary, the co-founder and executive chairman of the organisation said: “My daughter has learning disabilities and my family and I started Home From Home Care because we wanted to transform the way care homes operate.
“We combine innovation with compassion and dedication to change lives for the better.
“With our unique, high-tech, data-informed model of care that was developed in-house, we’re empowering colleagues to make a far greater impact.
“We appreciate the time that the CQC inspector took to understand how this positively impacts the service because we’re so unlike other care providers.
“It’s about a shared ethos and passion that drives continuous improvement, making it an everyday expectation as we must never forget that it is both a privilege and a reward to support society’s most vulnerable individuals.”
