Care Homes
We provide Food Safety and Health & Safety services to care and nursing homes across the South-East. Our aim is to support home managers in carrying out their health, safety and hygiene duties, and provide honest and objective assessments of how well safety is being managed at the home. Let us focus on safety, so that you can focus on care.
How We Can Help
"We take health, safety and food hygiene very seriously, and we think we have good systems and documentation in place, but there never seems to be enough time in the day to give it the attention it deserves". Does this sound familiar?
The home owners and managers we work with strive for high standards but the nature of care work is there are always so many competing priorities, with care being at the top of the list. This is where we can help.
Engage our services and we will take an objective look at the systems, practices, documentation, and contracts you already have in place. We will assess whether they are adequate, suitable, in order, and up-to-date. We will identify where improvements can be made, and equally where you are applying good practices.
Our services will benefit your business in the following ways:
-
Provide reassurance that all risks are being effectively managed
-
Maintain high standards of safety in all areas of service
-
Preparation for CQC inspections
-
Full legal compliance
-
Provide evidence of good practices and high standards to Directors and Trustees

Testimonials
"Carl provided us with an excellent service, guiding us through the Safety and Compliance Audit. We continue to be in touch regarding assistance in Health and Safety and food hygiene issues and would highly recommend the audit to any organisation wanting security and to evidence good practice".
Neil Sellman, General Manager at Tinkers Hatch
“The trainer Carl was excellent, the candidates found it very beneficial to have someone of his experience take the course. Staff attending reported that they thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it very worthwhile and valuable”.
Romayne Fillery, QRC Group Training Manager
"I requested Carl to audit my care home because his background supports his having the ability to critically assess what he sees and reads. I believed my health & safety management and documentation to be sound and Carl confirmed this.
Even though I am confident in my management of the home I find the reassurance of an external auditor offers 2 key benefits:
1. An opportunity to update ever changing information
2. Confirmation to inspectors, senior management and financiers that the home is well managed and safe."
Maureen Taylor, Operations Director at Chanctonbury Healthcare Ltd
