GoodOaks Reading and West Berks honours the Suicide Prevention Day
Read
Our Annual Quality Assurance Survey has been completed for our homecare office in Bournemouth and Poole, and the results are in!
Results
- 100% of clients reported that their needs are being met as described in their care plan. This shows that our care plans are regularly and responsively reviewed by Care Coordinators and are an accurate reflection of the care being provided. This is even more true this year since GoodOaks became a paperless service. Our new system allows us to update care plans, medication details, risk assessments etc immediately.
- 100% of clients said that care professionals ‘Always’ or ‘Nearly Always’ arrived at a time that suits them. This is an improvement from 96% who reported the same last year.
- 100% of clients were sure that confidentiality was maintained by their care professionals and the Company. This is the same high standard as last year.
- 100% of clients ‘Strongly agrees’ or ‘agrees’ that GoodOaks’ support enables them to be more independent.
- 100% of clients ‘Strongly agrees’ or ‘agrees’ that GoodOaks is responsive to any changes in their needs. Again, this is the same high standard as last year.
- 100% of clients ‘Always’ and ‘Nearly Always’ see the same member of staff. This is a very big improvement on the 2017 results.
- The average score for clients reporting seeing the same care professionals was 4% lower than last year, but an improvement on 2015.
- 100% of the clients who answered the questionnaire are ‘Very Satisfied’ or Satisfied with the service.
