Gold Standard Framework for End of Life Care
We are so very proud to have received a national award for providing Gold Standard end of life care.
We are so very proud to have received a national award for providing Gold Standard end of life care. We are the only home care provider in Cumbria to be accredited with this award. We scored an impressive 94% during the review of the criteria in May of this year. During the process, families of our clients were interviewed and asked about their experiences and the accreditation team also interviewed members of our Care Team and reviewed care plans to gain a full understanding of our Outstanding care service.
We have been awarded a national Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Quality Hallmark Award in recognition of our excellent end of life care we provide. It isn’t an easy award to achieve. We worked really hard on the criteria for almost 2 years and we had to demonstrate that our service can provide and deliver a high level of care during and at end of life.
We received the award at the GSF annual conference and awards ceremony in September in London and were one of only 5 home care agencies in the country to receive it
Julie Armstrong-Wilson, Chief Operating Officer for GSF said: “Congratulations to all the organisations who have successfully achieved accreditation. The standard of care and compassionate cultures that have been observed is truly inspiring, showing a commitment to ensuring people receive the right care at the right time which has a positive impact on the people cared for and their families. Listening to what matters most to each and every individual and providing care in accordance with their goals, wishes and preferences is the Gold Standard and these organisations are delivering it. GSF provides end of life care training and accreditation for frontline staff in health and social care. Everybody deserves gold standard end of life care.”
Since the beginning of our journey with Gold Standard Framework we have been fully committed to be seen as the thought leaders in end of life care and to share and support people in our community. Achieving this accreditation is just the start of our plans to further develop our credentials.
We want to ensure people live well at all stages of their lives and its exactly the same as they approach the final years. Everyone has the right to stay in their home if that is where they want to be and our Care Professionals can support them to live as independently as they can until they die. Each of our clients have different wishes and needs and we are here to support them and their loved ones throughout their life journey.
Enabling clients to live well and stay at home is at the heart of what we do and this accreditation helps to give our clients the confidence that we can provide this support at all stages of their journey with us and we can ensure our amazing Care Professionals are trained and accredited to GSF standards to deliver gold standard care.
