Under the Health and Social Care Act 2008, providers of health and adult social care services must register with Care Quality Commission (CQC) if they carry on a regulated activity. This supplementary guidance clarifies the main differences between the regulated activities ‘Accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care’ and ‘Personal care’, how they apply to supported living and extra care housing. The guidance also sets out indicators to help providers to decide whether ‘personal care’ or ‘Accommodation for persons who require nursing or personal care’ is being provided, and how they should register. A flow chart is also provided to help providers who are considering whether to register. (Edited publisher abstract)
A new model for care and support: sharing lives and taking charge

This paper aims to look at lesser-known approaches to working with older people which challenge current assumptions about older people and approaches to providing care, suggesting that they lie on a continuum of support services, which stretches from traditional, paid-by-the-hour, professional/client transactions at one end, to unboundaried, unpaid family care at the other. The paper looks at Shared Lives, ASA Lincolnshire’s At Home Day Resource for people with dementia, Homeshare, KeyRing and micro-enterprises. Through combining the value of real relationships with more formal support approaches, better outcomes can be achieved at lower costs. With the gap between the capacity of existing services and the needs of an ageing population growing daily, this paper provides additional research and development in this area of work.

Highlights innovative models and approaches to home care and considers their potential to improve the quality of care and respond to challenges in the home care market. The report summarises evidence on approaches that demonstrate potential in the following areas: Technology and digital; Co-ordinated care planning; Recruitment and retention; Autonomous team working; Alternative approaches to commissioning; Personalisation; Integrated care approaches; Community assets and connections; and Family-based support and communal living. For each of the areas the report provides: a brief description and examples, findings from a review of evidence; further potential benefits where evidence is not yet available; and contextual factors, including potential barriers and enablers to implementation. A table is included to indicate how widely each of the approaches have been widely adopted and evaluated, and whether it has potential to improve quality, provide cost savings and be scaled up. The report also identifies some common challenges and key priorities for the new models. (Edited publisher abstract)

This document describes the Care Quality Commission’s approach to regulating, inspecting and rating community adult social care services. These include: domiciliary care services, extra care housing, Shared Lives Schemes and supported living services. In this approach, the inspectors use their professional judgement, supported by objective measures and evidence, to assess services against five key criteria: safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness to people’s needs and leadership. The document outlines in detail each phase of the new regulatory process, including: registration, working with service users and their carers, with service providers, organisations and clinical commissioning groups, inspection and site visits, judgement and ratings, reporting and enforcement.

This includes care homes, home care services, nursing agencies and shared lives schemes. The mains sections of the briefing report cover: the profile of the adult social care market; trends in quality; and commissioning care. Findings showed that providers and commissioners are continuing to drive up the quality of care services. There is stability in the adult social care market, but further growth is required to meet future care needs. People are increasingly being supported to live independently and in their homes. Year-on–year, councils are commissioning better care homes and home care services. In conclusion, the briefing outlines what the Care Quality Commission will do to ensure there is clear information on information on the profile of the market and the quality of services being provided.

This report is based on information that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) holds about services that it regulates: care homes, home care agencies, nursing agencies, and shared lives schemes. The services are used by people who pay for their own care as well as those whose care is funded by their local authority. The findings are discussed in relation to quality and capacity of services; and performance by type of owner and type of service. The results show that the quality of social care is improving. Between May 2008 (when quality ratings were introduced) and April 2009, the proportion of services rated as good or excellent rose from 69% to 77%. Services run by councils or the voluntary sector performed best. Appendices include tables of adult social care data

This research, carried out by the market research organisation Continental Research, examined whether and to what extent quality ratings featured as a factor in decision making about care services. The research also looked at a range of other factors people took into account when choosing services, including the Commission for Social Care Inspection's website and inspection reports. The sample included people who had chosen domiciliary, residential care, or shared lives services and service commissioners in councils. Results found that quality ratings had the strongest impact on commissioners of care services. People who use services and their families also felt that quality ratings were a good idea and a helpful factor in decision-making.

The briefing is a summary of a full evidence review about the scale and nature of sexual abuse in adult social care settings. The review looked at statutory notifications data received by the Care Quality Commission; a review of the literature focusing on literature published since 2010; and National Safeguarding Adults Reviews data. The review considered seven key questions: What is the incidence/prevalence of sexual abuse in adult social care settings in the UK?; How is sexual abuse defined in the studies and in the sector?; Which groups of people are most at risk of being affected by sexual abuse in adult social care settings?; What knowledge do we have about the perpetrators of sexual incidents?; What knowledge do we have about the contributing factors which allow abuse to happen in social care settings?; What do we know about how adult social care settings try to prevent or respond to sexual abuse?; and What are the gaps in existing evidence? Recommendations are made under three themes: data and evidence gaps and how these could be addressed; and training and development for staff and people drawing on services.

This report looks at the quality of care across adult social care services regulated in England by the Care Quality Commission. It draws on more than 33,000 inspections of approximately 24,000 different services, including residential homes, nursing homes, care in people’s own homes, Shared Lives schemes and supported living services inspected during the period October 2014 and February 2017. The inspections rate services as either: Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement or Inadequate across the five key questions: whether they're safe, effective, caring and well-led. Services area also given an overall rating. The report summarises key findings from the inspections; highlights the features of high-quality care identified in inspections, focusing leadership, culture and person-centred care; looks at characteristics that can lead to poor-quality care and how the CQC use their enforcement powers to improve services; and examines how successful services have been in improving the quality of their care following inspections. It illustrates the quantitative findings from the CQC ratings database with qualitative information and examples from a sample of inspection reports. The results show that that almost four out of five adult social care services are rated as good or outstanding overall. However, approximately one quarter of services required improvement or were inadequate in the areas of ‘safe’ and ‘well-led’. In relation to types of services community social care services were rated the best overall, whereas nursing homes remain the biggest concern. (Edited publisher abstract)
