What should I do if I have a complaint, compliment or suggestion?
If you have any complaints, suggestions or compliments about a care home, you should speak to a member of staff at the home first.

The care home will have a complaints procedure which you can use to make a complaint if you need to. If you make a complaint about the care home this should be welcomed and encouraged and dealt with in a fair and open way. You will not be treated unfairly because you have chosen to complain. If you have a concern or complaint about a care home and prefer to tell someone confidentially you can contact the Care Quality Commission and they will deal with your complaint.
