How can I get support from HomeBridge Care Group?

If you are not eligible or do not want to involve Social Work, you can pay for your support yourself. In either case, we will agree payment terms with you.
What is our approach to quality assurance?
We ensure that risks associated with the services are monitored, managed and that action is taken to mitigate them. The service complies with the main delivery terms determined in our Service Specification on our Home page, reflecting good practice and continuously providing value for money. We achieve the required outcomes for all service users, focusing on a strength-based and person-centred approach.
Are you Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered?
Our supported accommodation service is currently not subject to registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). However, we make sure our services meet the fundamental standards of quality, safety, and performance. These help people achieve their goals, in accordance with relevant regulatory bodies. Our Supported living services are also commissioned and regularly inspected by Local Authorities Quality Assurance teams.
What makes us good at what we do?
We work to identifying goals with each person and adopting a “do with” method, rather than “do for.” We are tenacious and do not give up on people. Our specially trained practitioners develop strong support relationships, break down barriers and positively persist with people, ensuring that they are informed, engaged, active citizens in their home and community.
What is your approach to Care Planning?
As a responsible provider, we offer all care jobs in Barking and Dagenham with an emphasis on personal relationships. We explore consent, active participation, risk assessments and an individual’s rights and wellbeing. We treat people with dignity, compassion and respect, while providing coordinated care and support.
How do you ensure staff promote personalised care planning?
We ensure that all staff read our company’s policies and procedures. These give them the knowledge to conduct their role within the boundaries of the law, CQC compliance and best practice.
As well as formal training and supervision, we spend time helping staff to reflect on the things that they have done well and those that they could do better. Through supervision, we encourage our staff to keep up to date with local activities, event groups and learning opportunities, sharing these with service users. That way, they have the chance to be part of the local community.
We employ staff with experience and a can-do approach, focusing on what matters to people. We give our carers the freedom to act creatively while supporting their service users in a way that works for them.
We ensure staff provide weekly 1:1 session to explore what matters most to the people we support. In addition, we support them on how to they can manage their health, keep safe and be part of the local community.
We ensure that staff see each service user as an individual, with their own abilities and unique strengths.
We also support our staff to improve their own knowledge, skills and understanding, by asking others to assess their work. This could be a manager, colleagues, or other professionals.
Our managers regularly assess staff skills, knowledge and understanding and ensure that they align with current standards. To do this, we look at what they have learned in the past and create a roadmap or Personal Development Plan to improve in the future. All staff have their own PDP, as agreed between themselves and their manager.
How do you measure, monitor, and review care plans in a person-centred way?
We use the “Recovery Model” tool, which is outcome-focused, to measure recovery progress. The outcome recovery tool helps us identify progress and changes in a user’s personalised care and support plan. We also ensure support plans are evaluated jointly with the service user every 3 months or whenever changes are needed. In addition, regular statutory reviews are organised and chaired by the person’s local authority of residence.
