LEICESTER, England, September 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

As care homes struggle to stay compliant with regulations, iBC quality solutions company step in to help.

With the care of elderly and vulnerable people being of utmost importance, we are often surprised when we see the state of some of the care offered in homes across the UK. Shocking cases in the media have led the public to question; are privately run care homes solely profit driven?  

New cases of mistreatment in care homes are being revealed daily, so, how can we stop this? iBC Quality Solutions Director, Nizam Bata, says; "We are finding in the industry that care homes undergoing a safeguarding investigation are not compliant with the Care Quality Commission set out to stop the mistreatment of residents." iBC has found that many companies struggle as they do not have the in-house expertise to turn around their failing care homes. Nizam continues; "In cases where care homes employ consulting firms, they are left with a large bill and no form of support for the implementation of the strategy that the outsourced company put together."

iBC noted this issue, and had a goal to change the state of care homes. iBC has two main goals; to improve the quality of care offered across the UK, and to ensure that care home owners are continually complying with all regulations whilst ensuring their businesses remain profitable.

Since starting the business at the beginning of 2012, iBC has helped a number of care homes back on their feet. In order to change the homes for the better, iBC is made up of a number of qualified care home managers and highly-experienced local authority management along with nurses, care staff and managers. This ensures that the company is at the heart of the care home industry at all times.

Senior Consultant Michele Lovock White adds; "We have the chance the change the UK care home system for the better, and we are very committed to doing so. We want to let everyone know what we are trying to do, and hope that we can change the public's perception of care homes."
