Five new non-executive directors have been elected by members to the Board of UKHCA, representing a range of providers and geographies.
Dominique Kent, co-founder of the Live-in Care Hub, wants to convince NHS trusts that live-in care is a safer alternative to discharging people into a care home.
Dominique Kent says that thousands more care workers are needed to ensure patients are safely discharged home during the pandemic.
The most senior directors of four of the biggest domiciliary care providers in the country make their home care trend predictions for 2020.
Sector leaders have said providers must start evidencing positive outcomes of care in the home in order to be considered an equal partner with health.
Technology has enabled the live-in care provider to understand data in order to make meaningful decisions and achieve positive outcomes for clients.
UKHCA has announced changes to the Board, with the election of Home Instead CEO, and The Good Care Group MD appointed as Chair.
The Good Care Group was recognised for its pioneering work with wins in two separate categories - Specialist Care Provider and IT Innovator.
