The Care Inspectorate have developed new care surveys for care homes for older people that link to the new quality framework for inspecting care homes for older people.
These new care surveys have a stronger emphasis on hearing about people’s experiences and outcomes.
These new surveys replace the old care standards questionnaires. They have fewer questions and include packs of sentiment and response cards to support people to express their views more easily and simply, if they need to.
The Care Inspectorate have also produced guidance on how services can support people to give their views using the new surveys and card packs. If you have already received the older style care standards questionnaire, please continue to use them.
You will receive the new surveys and card packs in much the same way you used to receive care standards questionnaires.
