Foreword
Welcome to the 2009 edition of
the Directory of Care Providers
for
Leicestershire, Leicester City, and Rutland. Over the past decade, this
document has become the most important resource for anyone needing
advice on social care in the area. Whatever your care needs
or
circumstances, we believe that this comprehensive listing will make
sure that you are able to find the care provider to suit you.
There are also a number of independent agencies that can give impartial
advice. Some of these are listed on the ‘Where to
get
Advice’ page.
This supplement, now in it’s eleventh year, is
produced by
the Leicestershire-based care homes association, East Midlands CARE Ltd
in conjunction with Leicestershire County Council, Leicester City
Council, Rutland County Council, Leicestershire Domiciliary Care
Providers Association, Leicester Forum of Voluntary Providers and the
Leicester Mercury. Information on registration details is
taken
from the Care Quality Commission [CQC] website.
2010 will see some significant changes in the way that care services
are registered and regulated. Some services may no longer
need to
be registered, while others will have to register for the first
time. As much of the detail about how these changes are to be
introduced has yet to be confirmed we are not in a position to give you
further information. However, up to date information will be
maintained on the CQC website. This can be found at
www.cqc.org.uk.
Here
you will also find recent inspection reports and star ratings for all
registered services.
More detailed information relating to some care providers can be found
in the advertisements at the back of the publication. East
Midlands CARE is grateful to all those advertisers who have supported
us and made this guide possible.
