Complete a survey for the Care Quality Commission and your favourite charity could win a £150 donation

Done, though the subject is one I try not to think about too often....

Completed! Hopefully I won't need the services of a care home!

Completed. Made me think.

I agree with "Maggiemaybe"

Completed. My mother lived in a warden-patrolled residence, then with the family, and finally in a care home when she could no longer manage stairs and needed round-the-clock medical help. It made me think of my own future.

Done and this one had some sensible questions it sounds like someone other than us is thinking care models will have to change to suit future needs and expectations.

Having visited my mother in law yesterday in a care home, very pertinent.

One thing missing from the questionnaire was about food. Having been vegetarian for nearly 40 years, I would not consider a home that did not cater for vegetarians.
There must be a lot of us.

Done, but I hope I never have to go into a care home!

I completed this but didn't post that I had.

Done,though I hope I will not need a care home.However,it is good to know that our opinions are valued.

I've come back to say I did the survey! Can't remember much about the questions so maybe I'd better start checking them out!

Completed.

Done thanks good questions

Done, sensible well planned survey.

Done! An interesting survey, but I would like for the residents who are able, to have a vote on things within the care home. I don't know much about current care homes, but have discussed with like minded relatives the possibility of setting up home together and employing caring staff to suit out needs rather than going into a care home which caters for all types of people.

Done. Good questions. Agree with you Jude about the residents who can, being able to vote on things in their care homes.

Have just completed CQC questionnaire having worked for caring agencies for home care and been advocate to a very dear lady who was put into a home, also my mother was in a home, I felt it very important to help improve care for the elderly. There are many very good carers but there are also those who should not be doing the job, also managers who just need to make profits. I personally have experienced being told to move to my next client after phoning the office to report a lovely lady had fallen and was in a very distressed way when I arrived at 7.30am. Needless to say I stayed with her, got her comfortable and only left when a relative arrived. This caused me to be 45mins late for all my calls that morning. Guess what! I was called into the office and serverly reprimanded. Everyone I saw that day understood, my lovely lady went to the hospital, calm and clean, the only people not happy were Management. This has to stop. Carers do not get paid extra for doing extra, but they should be supported by management. Bad carers should be reported.

I have just completed this survey but then found that it did not cover Wales. Why?

Done!
