Why care homes choose Paddl for risk assessments
Common questions about Risk Assessments for care homes
Can Paddl create individual resident risk assessments for care homes?
Yes. Create individual risk profiles covering mobility, falls, nutrition, choking, skin integrity, behaviour, and medication risks. These link to care plans and are reviewed automatically when care needs change. Care homes face dual inspection requirements from both EHO and CQC - this addresses both seamlessly.
Does it cover moving and handling assessments for care homes?
Yes. Generate person-specific moving and handling assessments covering equipment requirements, number of carers, techniques, and any contraindications. These can be updated as mobility changes. Care home teams value the audit trail this creates for both food safety and care quality regulators.
How does Paddl help with CQC risk management requirements for care homes?
Paddl ensures your risk assessments meet CQC Regulation 12 requirements-identifying risks, implementing controls, reviewing regularly, and involving individuals in their own risk assessments. All documented and audit-ready. In care home settings where residents may have complex medical and dietary needs, this extra safeguard is essential.
Can I track risk assessment compliance across multiple settings for care homes?
Yes. See which assessments are current, overdue, or due for review across all your settings from one dashboard. Drill down into individual sites to see specific gaps and assign actions. Care home operators report this significantly reduces the stress of regulatory inspections from multiple bodies.
