Care Campaign for the Vulnerable is learning of the pressures faced by conscientious led Care Providers striving to offer a caring and safe environment to both service users and staff. Safety monitoring is proving to be a invaluable care assist tool - bringing a more open and transparent culture into care homes as well as saving valuable resources within the care home sector and the NHS
In 2022, Care Campaign for the Vulnerable has offered support to more families and care staff than ever before.
Our attendance at meetings has often resulted in the delivery of positive outcomes for families when original expectations were low in terms of resolution.
We have continued to visit care homes to meet residents and understand their concerns about a service.
Being a voice for vulnerable people remains at the heart of what we do whether that be families, the residents themselves or both.
As a safety in elderly care organisation we have taken up numerous invitations to speak at care shows, continued to comment on national social care issues and assisted with raising much needed funds for dementia research.
We have sought to also rally support from care leaders and MP’s in the believe that all stakeholders together, can bring about the change the care home market needs.
Families and care staff remind us daily that in their view radical changes are required within the care sector.
Improving safety, promoting greater transparency in dementia elderly care, financially valuing carers for the excellent skills they have and for the job they do and providing greater protection for whistleblowers are persistent themes that remain unaddressed.
CCFTV understands more than ever the challenges the sector faces but we want to reflect on the positives also.
We’ve heard of exceptional care stories both from care workers and families which is truly thrilling, as at the centre of these heartwarming experiences are the vulnerable elderly people we all serve.
CCFTV will continue to press the care sector particularly the UK’s largest care home operators for greater transparency and push even harder in 2023 for all care homes to adopt Independently monitoring camera systems.
Every week CCFTV are with care providers that invite us to look at the many benefits safety monitoring is bringing to their care service.
The value of such is irrefutable and therefore no legitimate reason exists to not adopt such technologies if the resident care experience is so materially improved.
Going into 2023 CCFTV will continue to listen and advocate as we work towards a safer, transparent and better protected care system for everyone.
We thank those families, carers, care provider’s and sponsors who work tirelessly to support the work we do at CCFTV, particularly our main sponsors Care Protect Ltd and Slater and Gordon that allow us to carry on our vital work , supporting families in care.
