<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><h1>Adults with acquired brain injuries, learning disabilities and complex needs</h1> <p>In addition to surveying the families of service users in our care on an annual basis, we also complete a questionnaire with the individuals themselves, which asks specific questions about different aspects of their lives within the care home.</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/satisfaction-survey-care-home-residents/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>

<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p> We encourage feedback from the families of the service users in our care on a regular basis, but once a year we formalise this process by sending them a short questionnaire to complete. It is sent to both the families of service users who have learning disabilities and those who have an acquired brain injury.</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/families-survey-results-2017/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>

<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p> An unannounced inspection took place at The Mews, one of our homes for adults with acquired brain injuries, in January. The Mews was rated ‘Good’ against all of the five key questions: Is the service safe? Is the service effective? Is the service caring?</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/cqc-inspection-for-the-mews/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>

<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p> At The Richardson Partnership for Care we strive to provide an open environment, welcoming feedback from service users’ families about the care of their loved ones. We also complete an annual survey, which provides family members with a more formal opportunity to tell us about their views on the care, support and rehabilitation services that we provide for adults with acquired brain injuries and learning difficulties.</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/feedback-from-service-users-families/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>

<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p> Voice Ability is an advocacy service providing independent advocacy for people aged over 18. The organisation supports people who use adult mental health care services with issues about mental health and social care.</p> <p>Voice Ability also provides a quality checking service for a range of organisations including Northamptonshire County Council, the CQC and NHS Trusts.</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/the-mews-awarded-1010-in-quality-checkers-report/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>

<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p> No two brain injuries are the same, as no two individuals are the same, so our specialist residential care homes need to cater for people with different needs. Service users may come to us several years after they have sustained a brain injury and after they have already had a period of acute rehabilitation.</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/144-boughton-green-road-regains-headway-accreditation/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>

<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p> At The Richardson Partnership for Care, we strive to have an open relationship with service users and their families so that they can tell us straight away if they are concerned about any aspect of their care or their home. We hold regular care reviews as well as completing an annual survey.</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/care-homes-shine-in-independent-feedback/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>

<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p> An acquired or traumatic brain injury often occurs very suddenly and may be the result of a road traffic accident, sporting accident or a stroke. There is no time or opportunity to prepare for what lies ahead and it is a huge shock to their individual and their family and friends.</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/coping-with-life-after-brain-injury/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>

<div class="bt_bb_wrapper"><p> In the field of rehabilitation for people with acquired brain injuries, there is often a conflict between short term cost savings and long term value for money. At The Richardson Partnership for Care our experience has shown that investment in the right level of support at the right time can lead to significant cost savings over the longer term.</p></div>→ <a href="https://www.richardsoncares.co.uk/care-pathway-in-brain-injury-rehabilitation/" class="read-more">Read the rest </a>
