Quality Assurance System
Managing and monitoring the quality of the service care homes provide is essential for good business practice. Quality is established by the standards that are set by the home and by continuously monitoring against those standards. Emcare through a member home has produced a set of manuals that has met with approval of the CSCI inspection unit. Details can be found from the Manuals link button.
