Commissioning new homes

CaroGood Care Homes has a proven track record of opening children’s homes that have the infrastructure and practice to maintain the highest of standards. While the emphasis at the early stage is on establishing the home as a sustainable and profitable business, we know that the motivation for providers is to deliver great outcomes for the children and young people themselves.

At PRH we fully understand the commitment the new provider is making. We offer reassurance we can successfully guide them, step-by-step, through the full process using our tried and tested ’10 stages of commissioning’ framework.

Support for Governance and Management

After successful registration, there will of course be new challenges. For example, the period of time for the children or young people to feel settled, the cycle of development for the staff team, etc.

Caro Good Care Homes,we believe there is no point in successfully completing the registration process only to encounter problems at a later stage that either affects the business model or the quality of provision.

Focused Interventions

Caro Good Care Homes can help with the implementation of Ofsted inspection requirements, including requirements for improvement.

– Offer support with the implementation of recommendations from Regulation 44 Children’s Home visits.
– Help with Ofsted complaints and appeals procedures
– Pre-inspection audits
– Full placement model review with recommendations to maximise income and sustainability

Property Acquisition

Private equity investment in children’s homes continues to be a profitable investment. However, Pinewood Residential Homes understand the issues that need to be addressed in the delivery of social responsibility regarding such investment. Therefore, we offer advice and guidance on the purchasing of property relative to concerns regarding contingency planning that include financial provision, structure, reserves and profit margins.

Most importantly, we consider the essential relationship with the service provider — where emphasis is placed on the quality of provision and good outcomes for children/young people.
