Response to article: "Do Care homes have a future" Community Care Magazine

I am certain that care homes still have a future, there is a great need for good care homes in the UK, but what I do think is vitally important and a huge part of the question offered is that we can not forget how crucial it is to ensure that the home has the right Staff , particularly an experienced and qualified Manager.

Some of our clients have experienced difficulties in the past with recruiting Managers, (some having employed up to 3 in one year unsuccessfully) and some of these managers have not passed the fit person interview laid down by the CSCI therefore leaving the home without a registered manager and being in breach of not meeting the required standards. We have clients who's homes have been in crisis under bad management in the past and we have placed Managers with them who have brought the home up to scratch and up to the CSCI standards, this in turn has earned the homes a good reputation and resulted in full bed capacity, therefore ensuring the home has a future. My theory is... a good manager...a good home.
