The quality of service this company provides is excellent. They are always willing to give advise and assistance by telephone or email. There emails are always followed up immediately. The policy updates are timely. The quality of the paperwork is excellent. However they keep saying we are not compliant. As the policies are used centrally to update and amend our own policies it is not appropriate for NWCS to fill in all the documentation as it pertains to a particular 'home'. we did fill in one form at the begining and then because this was late in being submitted QCS had changed the format and there were more details to fill in which as I have indicated were not applicable for the way we use the policies sent to us. Also have QCS stopped posting policies are we now expected to download them. No information was sent to explain that this would be the case in future.
excellent, i recommend qcs to anyone who wants a comprehensive care system.
As a small care home I have really used the system and feel that the service from all of its operatives both on the telephone and on line is fantastic. I would recommend this as I do to all of my colleagues in the Care sector.
I have found QCS invaluable in their provision of policies and procedures to my specialised area of work. While I do not run a domiciliary care agency, I am responsible for the direct recruitment, management and supervision of care teams working with my clients.
During my CQC registration process, I demonstrated the QCS files I use in the management of various support teams. CQC were familiar with QCS and agreed with me that they provided a sterling service.
Very helpful staff at QCS, the online information/tools are great and improving all the time.
Receiving the up-dates on our policies direct to our staff helps us to ensure we are giving our staff the most up-to-date information.
From first point of contact, QCS were very helpful and proffesional.
The system is extreamly efficient and holds all documents we require for CQC registration!
This system is a great asset to our home. It keeps you up to date with all changes relating to the Essential Standards of Quality and Safety and is invaluable in all administration procedures.
It is extremely easy to use and I would recommend it to all Managers of care homes.
If you need a form, checklist, guideline or just information this is the system you need.
We have just renewed for the 3rd year and would'nt be without it.
From experience, CQS guide towards registration is very good but beware, it's you who have to put the work in to become compliance with CQC. Also if you are let down in any way in setting up your business, the contract you sign with CQS is binding for twelve months, it's the director of CQS who has the last call?
i find that that i have maid friends with all the staff at q cs
Very efficient and got all I wanted for domiciliary care and the ongoing updates.I wish If we could be able to extend/renew the membership beyond the 12month period for a small fee.
If you really want to get it right first time when dealing with Care Quality Commission and set your business on the right path, then you need an organisation like this that will lead you through with all the support you may need. They are truly a professional friend to have.
The policies and procedures that i have ordered, have been a god send for me, saves all the hard work that i would have had to do.
Itts good that the company has put all the input into it for Domicillary businesses like me.
I have been a user for almost a year now. They are a very efficient company.
When I got to in touch with QCS, I did not know to expect. When I signed them on, I got everything I needed: policies, procedure, updates, and above all, very quickly. It's like having a team behind me. I highly rate QCS and very much recommend them.
QCS very useful for every one for me 50 to 60% of my paperwork and job done by using QCS compliances. staff are supportive at all times in relation to any querys.
Having recently acquired the software, we can see this being a valuable asset to our newly established care planning system and realted paperwork. We would like to thank you and your team for the help you have provided in setting up our company with the Policies and Procedures which we needed. The assurance that we remain CQC compliant is very reassuring in this rapidly changing environment. Thank you
So far the service has been excellent and we look forward to receiving the Manuals ion due course which we hope will enable us to run an excellent service for our residents
I have found QCS invaluable whilst setting up my small domiciliary care agency. They took the stress out of putting together and maintaining high quality policies and procedures. I am always fully informed and the Agency benefits from being up to date, relevant and compliant. The Provider Compliance Assessment toolkits have also been extremely useful. I feel QCS have guided me through what is a minefield of requirements and legislation.
QCS subscription has not only provided us 'peace of mind' in regard to compulsory compliance issues, it also provides continuous updates and significant information relevant to the sector.
The QCS are very helpful and have excellant customer services skills.
Would Recommend to other companies who are thiking of joining the healthcare sector.
This is the best place to get your Policies and Procedures. The staff is very helpful and will always call you to find out if you have any problems and you can always phone them for anything and they are willing to help
Just recently bought this system and don't know how we managed before. Its great, you get what you pay for. Would highly recommend to everybody.
the policies cover every aspect of the care industry, and i would not hesitate in recomending C.Q.S to anybody.
I rate this organisations care documents as excellent 5 star
By using this service we know we are compliant & providing the best care & producing all the neccesary paperwork required. Any changes brought about we will be notified so we dont have to sit around thinking of how to" put pen to paper". Any problems their is always someone at the other end of the phone willing to assist.
“Just a quick line to let you know that we are really pleased with the QCS system we purchased from yourselves some months ago. Not only has it shortened the time needed to complete our Compliance packs but
because we receive monthly updates in hard copy as well as daily updates on e mail on any policy that has been revised we can rely on the system to ensure we are always compliant with C.Q.C. Regulations”
I found that the service I received from both Richard and Milissa to be very professional, with out their help I do not think that I would have managed on my own. All I can say I will recommend your company to other interested people. Keep up the great work.
Kind Regards

We found it very advantageous to be able to access the system online prior to purchasing the full system including hard back files. As a small agency we found the additional online and telephone support a great help, particularly our designated system support - Rhea.
Our only criticism/disappointment would be that we are only able to access the system online for 12 months, at which time we would have to purchase the whole system again, rather that just 'renew' membership at a lesser fee.
Ther service we recieved from Ria was second to none, she explained and talked me and my deputy through the system and followed up by answering any questions we had, we are looking forward to using the new system with certainty that the customer service will be as wonderful as the introduction many thanks Ria for all your help Kind regards from Trudy and Michelle
This is my second year with QCS and as im still anew company it is nice to know that they update and send out the new policy's and procedures promptly,very kind helpful people and i wouldnt look anywhere eles,i see that my company and QCS will have a very long lasting relationship for many years to come,as without the help of QCS with keeping upto date on p&p's i dont think i would manage it. So abig thankyou for making my company run as successfuly as it does :)

First class service.
We have found your service to be highly professional and your system up dates to be of a very high standard and your back up data is very informative.
We would recommend your Company to other people who are interested in this sector of Home Care Services.
Reeya has been very helpful and has made our transition to QCS very easy, she has answered all our questions and has implemented any changes we have needed with immediate effect.
From the time I applied to register with QCS to date , I find QCS to be very professional. They point you in the right direction in making your service safe. I am also impressed with the monthly Management System Updates.
I was disappointed that we wasn't informed of the extensive questionnaire prior to placing our order, we have clearly lost out as we are in the process of setting our company and paying for goods which we are not yet using apart from that we believe care plans are fab
they made it become a possibility, we were so bound up in paper work need to be compliant with CQC we could not get to first base.
I wouldn't like you to change the way you work with your customers. You are very efficient and very helpful.
I have found the system easy to use.Everything I need is there, policies are simple but all inclusive.I would recomend this system to anyone starting either as a manager or owning a Home.
Since purchasing the system the customer care support has been first class with regular prompting in respect of updates and compliance reminders.
The service has enabled me to get on with the day to day task of running the company with the security of knowing that the system is there to provide any support / guidance I need.
Thank you QCS.
covers everything that is req i havn't senn a program anywhere that can get any where near it highly recommended
Really found that the system allows you to have your company up and running really fast. The policy's and procedures were a great help. It has really been a fantastic investment. I will say however to improve the service it would be good to see a more diverse range of training materials there are a lot of subjects already ie the important ones but would be good to see more specialised subjects such as asthma, epilepsy, diabetes etc. all in all well pleased with the service provided advisers are always accessible well they have been for me any way.
