The Gold Standards Framework and Royal Bay Care Homes.

The Gold Standards Framework Care Homes (GSFCH) Training Programme is a 3 stage quality assurance programme that enables care homes to provide quality care for all residents nearing the end of life. By implementing improved coordination and better organisation GSF helps care homes deliver better patient outcomes in line with their needs and preferences.

The GSFCH Training Programme provides for:
Quality improvement, quality assurance, and quality recognition.
The allowing of more clients to pass away peacefully in their own care home without traumatic and unnecessary hospital transfers and admissions.
Care home system changes and education to ensure better end of life and palliative care outcomes for clients.
The accreditation of Homes leading to a Quality Hallmark Award, and to be included in a national database, with national recognition for their achievement and membership of a Solid Gold Club with numerous benefits that support continued recognition.

Royal Bay Care Homes Ltd is actively pursuing GSF accreditation with all of their homes in the Care Group. GSF has been promoted in ‘phases’ across various U.K. regions and this has allowed Royal Bay to take advantage of the GSFCH Training Programme when accessible. Five of the homes are at various stages of completing accreditation and of the remaining three, two are on the ‘start list’ to enter the GSFCH Training Programme in the September 2011, and one in March 2012. The individual homes’ progress is as follows:

• Royal Bay Herons Park, Kidderminster, Forest Hill House and Castle Farm, Nr Poole, Larks Leas, Blandford, and The Old Vicarage nr Kettering, are close to final portfolio submission for Accreditation,
• Royal Bay Nursing and Royal Bay Residential Care, Bognor Regis, are commencing their 15 month Training Programme in September 2011,
• Claremont Lodge, Fontwell, is looking to commence in March 2012.

Our established and on-going ethos of promoting the quality of client care in all areas is borne out by our homes’ commitments to achieving their Solid Gold Club memberships.
