Care Quality

Care Standards

We are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), recent inspection rated us as GOOD and the regulated activity provided by Kerrier Homecare Limited is Personal Care.

Personal Care can be provided for a range of adult user groups such as;

Adults 18 years and Over
People with Physical Disabilities
Palliative Care
Dementia Care

The service type is Domiciliary Care, the service band as determined by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is DCC, the definition of which is:

“These services provide personal care for people living in their own homes. The needs of people using the services may vary greatly, but packages of care are designed to meet individual circumstances. The person is visited at various times of the day or, in some cases, care is provided over a full 24-hour period. Where care is provided intermittently throughout the day, the person may live independently of any continuous support or care between the visits. “

Care Quality Commission (CQC)

The CQC is the independent regulator of health and social care in England.

Its purpose is to ensure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, passionate, high-quality care - with a focus on continuous care services improvement.

Core role of the CQC:

Registration of care providers
Monitoring, inspection and rating of services
Taking action to protect people who use services
Speaks with an independent voice, publishing views on major quality issues.

Throughout the CQC`s work it:

Protects rights of vulnerable people, including those restricted under the Mental Health Act
Listens to and acts on the experiences of care providers, like Kerrier Homecare
Involves the public and people who receive care
Works with other organisations and public groups

CQC Core Values:

Excellence: being a high-performing organisation
Caring: treating everyone with dignity and respect
Integrity: doing the right thing
Teamwork: learning from each other to be the best they can.

Katy`s Story

One of our most passionate carers is Katy, who also now focuses on compliance and ensuring the whole team always maintains outstanding care standards.

Katy has contributed in her own words, spoken truly from the heart:

“After studying extremely hard to qualify as a dental nurse and being in the job for 9 years I really did not think I would ever want to change my career - but unfortunately our practice was taken over by corporates and ended up being money oriented, which sadly made the job not an option for myself anymore.

My sister had always loved being a carer and was proud to be part of such a great care company, so I applied for a job with Kerrier Homecare about 3 years ago. I can honestly say that it was the best decision I have made career wise. Being a support worker for Kerrier Homecare does not feel like “a job”. I wake up every day excited and happy to make a difference to other people's lives and look forward to seeing my colleagues and working as a team to make the day run smoothly for everyone. The passion, empathy and selflessness of all members of the Kerrier Homecare team is immense and it humbles me daily watching the relationships between the carers and service users. The team are incredible.

A lot of the carers have had a lot of personal issues at home, but their strength and compassion shines through when they are working, because you really would not know that any of this is going on. They always put the service users first and make every minute of the visit about them making sure they are comfortable, clean and fed but most importantly that they feel valued and cared for. My favourite part of the day is walking into a service users’ home and seeing the beaming smile on their face. Having a laugh and joke with them but remaining professional and providing dignity, privacy and choice.

Kerrier Homecare has brought out my confidence immensely and opened my eyes to a part of the world which a lot of us do not see. We work all hours, weekends, evenings, holidays and Christmas. When we do get home our minds are still working as we are thinking about the clients that are home on their own. Our service users are a second family to us all. We treat our clients as we would our own family. We worry about them like they are our own family and we go above and beyond for them as we would our own family.

Our manager is an inspiration to us all. Starting this business off from nothing, Jane literally works day and night to keep the company running to the high standards it is today. Jane does all she can to make the team happy in their jobs and always puts everything down to talk to her clients and Team. As she always says, " They come first".

I am truly proud to be part of the team”

"The quality, not the longevity,

of one's life is what is important."

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

3) What Are My Rights?

Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

• Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way

For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 10.

6) Do You Share My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data, we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses provided. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within one month and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.

We share your personal data within our group of companies which involves transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same levels of protection to your personal data, so European law has prohibited transfers of personal data outside of the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.

Many of our third parties service providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we do our best to ensure a similar degree of security of data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission; or
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe; or
• Where we use providers based in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the Europe and the US

If none of the above safeguards is available, we may request your explicit consent to the specific transfer. You will have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.

Please email us at hello@kerrierhomecare.com if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data out of the EEA.
