Many services that provide care in your own home are KCC
Approved Providers.
An Approved Provider is regarded by Kent Adult Social Services
(KASS) to have a combination of service standards and price that
represent the best value.
To reach this decision we firstly focus on quality. We look at
the outcomes of our evaluation of the service. We also take into
account feedback from Care Managers, Service Users and other Local
Authorities.
Secondly, we check the price against the amount we expect to
pay. If both quality and price are satisfactory, the service is
regarded as an Approved Provider.
The status of Approved Provider is changeable because it depends
on a service maintaining basic service standards and remaining
affordable. KASS monitors services providing care in your own
home.
Care in your own home services may be awarded Approved Provider
status, but may not necessarily have a contract. This is because
despite the fact that they meet Kent's quality requirements, there
is not enough demand to award everybody a contract.
The following are conditions upon which a provider for
domiciliary care services becomes a KCC Approved Provider.
