What do you get if you cross an electrician and a psychiatric nurse practitioner? Inadequate care for vulnerable people. At least that’s the case here.

Last wk I wrote about the hypocrisy of a UK care provider 'celebrating' their apparent award wining care, while people they are paid to support lived non-lives.

Yesterday CQC, the UK #healthcare #SocialCare regulator published another report into a service of theirs providing inadequate care.

14 breaches of regulations, 10 for almost a year https://www.georgejulian.co.uk/2022/12/04/achieve-together-failing-again/

One relative told us "[Family member's] life has become significantly smaller since living there, they can no longer do the things they used to enjoy doing and have lost a lot of skills."

@StefBenstead I question why charities are providing care at all, if it is not to set an example and be outstanding.

I completely agree #socialcare isn't adequately funded.

I also question why #charities are courting the media with stories about the supposed social care crisis, without addressing their own failings first.

LC have had no care rated outstanding in last two years, but several homes rated #CQCinadequate.

This is another one from July https://api.cqc.org.uk/public/v1/reports/5a580cb5-87bb-40f1-bc1f-715ea102e471?20220719120000

@StefBenstead I'm not sure I buy this line from Leonard Cheshire tbh.

It's not simply about LAs failing to provide real costs (altho that I don't doubt at all) but that is also about LC failing to negotiate effectively with commissioners.

It is also about them running hugely expensive housing stock and providing utterly degrading and inhumane care in some of their homes, such as this one that warehouses over 30ppl https://api.cqc.org.uk/public/v1/reports/9b831bba-6d61-4367-8f81-4ef912dad172?20220218130000

I hate awards. For numerous reasons, mostly because they're self selecting, inherently biased and subjective, and usually a big fat money maker.

Today I wrote about Achieve Together, winners of a LaingBuisson Award this month, and the inadequate care they're delivering, according to CQC https://www.georgejulian.co.uk/2022/11/29/achieve-together-award-winning-specialist-care-that-cqc-consider-to-be-inadequate/
