Testimonials
Proudly Rated 5 Stars
We brought in Andrew Foster to help us prepare for our upcoming CQC inspection, and it was hands-down the best decision we could have made. Navigating CQC regulations can be incredibly stressful but Andrew brought a sense of calm, clarity, and immense expertise to our team. He took the time to understand the unique challenges of our care home and provided tailored support that motivated our staff rather than overwhelming them. With his guidance we overhauled our auditing systems and care plans, resulting in a fantastic new CQC rating of Good. If you want to transform your care service and achieve compliance with confidence, I cannot recommend Northern Care Consultancy highly enough. Thank you for everything.
I would highly recommend Northern Care Consultancy, to provide clear communication and practical navigation to help support in understanding complex regulations. Northern Care Consultancy takes time to understand unique Care providers and the specific requirements of individuals supported within different establishments. Providing mock inspections and being really supportive in all areas, we have worked directly with Andrew for a number of years and would recommend to all providers looking to become more prepared for subsequent inspections.
We recently used Andrew’s services and found it to be such a worthwhile investment. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and professional throughout. He was also very approachable and easy to get along with, and provided a clear, practical action plan to support improvements. His feedback was balanced and constructive, recognising what we do well while offering helpful tips and advice on how we can continue to develop. We would highly recommend his service to any care provider preparing for inspection. Thanks Andrew!
We have been working with Andrew for many years, and their support has been invaluable. Their in-depth knowledge of CQC regulations and care home best practice has helped us improve our processes, strengthen compliance, and give our residents the highest standard of care. They are professional, approachable, and always take the time to explain things clearly, making complex requirements easy to understand and implement. A true asset to any care service looking to achieve excellence. Highly recommended!
