4 Simple Steps to Improving Performance in Care Homes
Whilst we tailor the approach to the Care Sector, at the top level, the four core steps to ensuring great performance are very much the same as for schools, hospitals, Care Homes and Home Care.
With the 4 – Step approach to effective person-centred care home management, we help you create space to review your current approach and help you make change for a sustainable future.
The four steps are below:
Step 1 – Strategy
The role of the leadership team is to set the general direction of the organisation and enable their teams to steer towards it. If you want to achieve an ‘Outstanding’ status and maintain it, you will be clear of where you are now and what are the opportunities to do even better.
Creating a vision for the future
To do this, you need clarity on who you are, what you do and who you do it for linked to and understanding of what you want your organisation to look like in the future. Once you have this you can evaluate where you currently are and start to make work streams to improve.
Developing the right leadership approach
As the company name suggests, coaching is an integral part of our approach and learning to adopt a coaching approach is essential in developing your team and ensuring that you have a pipeline of talent that loves working in your homes. The right Leadership approach will deliver a strong reputation, improve occupancy, happier staff at Care Home level with reduced recruitment costs because of longevity of staff.
Teamwork
If you make a pact together to make changes step by step, it is more likely that you will be successful. Make a plan to achieve a more proactive way of working, rather than being reactive and work together to achieve it.
“If everyone is moving forward together,
then success takes care of itself.” – Henry Ford
