At Advocate Healthcare we focus on your compliance needs while you focus on your clients’ needs.

Are you wondering why you should use CQC Experts when you could do it yourself? With over 10 years experience of compliance in the care sector, here at Advocate Healthcare well aware that wading through the regulations and requirements is a time consuming and thankless task. That’s why we set up this service – to share the load so you can focus on the primary task of providing high quality care to your clients.
 

To do this, we developed a robust set of domiciliary care, care home and supported living policies, procedures, templates and guidance tool-kits to ensure you are following CQC guidelines.  As you’d expect, these have been written by our experts, whom have extensive knowledge of the adult social care sector, including occupational experience in assessment, inspection and health and social care training.
