How we achieve high quality in our services
Mencap is committed to being open about the quality of services we offer people with a learning disability.
We believe that everybody should have the best quality of life. This means we continually improve the quality of services that we offer.
All our services work within our quality and practice framework, What Matters Most and our practice framework.
When we get a Requires Improvement or Inadequate rating
We take it very seriously when a service is rated as Requires Improvement or Inadequate, because this means that the quality of life for people in services isn't as good as it should be.
If this happens, the Quality team will support our operational colleagues within the service as soon as possible to develop and monitor an improvement plan (the 5 P's).
Types of service
There are four key types of service that we provide. Click each of the service types below to find out more.
Residential Care Home
A care home is a place where personal care and accommodation are provided together.
People may live in the service for short (respite) or long periods of time. For many people, it is their sole place of residence and so it becomes their home, although they do not legally own or rent it.
Both the accommodation and the care that people receive are regulated by CQC.
Domiciliary Care
Domiciliary Care is where we provide personal care to people living in their own home in order to promote their independence.
Supported Living
Supported Living is where we provide care and/or support to people living in their own homes. The needs of people may vary greatly - they may require additional support with household tasks, personal care or any other activity that allows them to maintain their independence and quality of life.
If the person requires support with personal care (e.g. washing, bathing or cleaning themselves, getting dressed or going to the toilet), then this support is regulated by CQC.
Shared Lives
Shared Lives is care and/or support provided by individuals, couples and families who have approved and trained for that role by the service registered with CQC.
