National Care Standards

National Care Standards are guidelines set by authorities to ensure care services like nursing homes, home care, and social support provide safe, respectful, and high-quality care. They outline what residents and service users can expect, such as dignity, privacy, and staff professionalism. These standards help care providers maintain consistent practices, improve service delivery, and ensure accountability. They are designed to protect individuals' rights and well-being, encouraging continuous improvements based on best practices and evidence, fostering trust and confidence in care services across the country.
