We recognise care providers need solutions to demonstrate they go above and beyond government standards and guidelines, and we are committed to finding innovative ways to support them to do so.

Standards do inspire confidence.
In a guest column for @carehomepro our MD @LaterLifeExpert discusses the importance of high standards, and how #carehomes can use them to showcase their services and be a recruiter of choice.

@British_Airways standing in the queue at Nice airport to drop off bags - 30 mins so far! Absolutely no point in checking in online. Really disappointing.

[Debbie Harris @LaterLifeExpert]

Spending it all on care @holly_mead_ great article this morning. I can’t see a government solution materialising any time soon. Families need to make informed decisions about every aspect of the care, from finances to food.

[Debbie Harris @LaterLifeExpert]

Really disappointing that Winifred R. on @bbcradio4, #YouandYours today didn't get the opp to talk about solutions for #hospitaldischarge, only the problems faced when finding care.
Our solution to this problem is hospital discharge directory:

We must redefine Hospital Discharge, and look at more streamlined ways to support people who are waiting to leave hospital and return to their own home or accommodation-based care.
#socialcare #healthcare #NHS #efficiency

[Autumna @AutumnaCare]

With winter nearly upon us, we have to find solutions to reduce pressure on the #NHS. We believe there are missed opportunities.
We urge discharge teams to review procedures & streamline services to reduce unnecessary occupied beds.
