We’re delighted to share that Bluebird Care Ireland is rolling out Cloda across its national home care network. ✨

Cloda gives carers and support staff instant access to the answers they need from their best practice policies and procedures, directly from their mobile device and in their own language.

As the home support sector moves towards regulation, giving carers instant, mobile access to procedures will be increasingly important for supporting consistency, quality and compliance at scale.

We are proud to support Bluebird Care Ireland on this journey.

Where do homecare audits actually break down?

Our latest blog looks at the common gaps in audit and quality assurance — and what providers can learn from them.

Where Homecare Audits Break Down: A Review of Recent CQC Reports | Cloda ai UK A review of 10 recent CQC Homecare assessments finds audit and quality assurance failures behind every Requires Improvement rating. Here's what went wrong and how closed-loop QIP tracking fixes it.

Found the risk. Lost the QIP.

That's the pattern across recent CQC homecare reports rated requires improvement.

Audits were completed. Follow-through wasn't. No owner. No deadline. No way to prove the risk was ever closed.

Are You Tracking the Healthcare Compliance Data That Really Matters?

Most compliance systems store documents. Fewer give leaders real centralised visibility — into who's acknowledged and understood a policy, what training is overdue, where risks sit, and whether audit findings actually get closed out.

Our latest blog breaks down what healthcare compliance software should track, and what leaders should expect from it.

CQC is returning to Good-rated adult social care services to confirm whether older ratings still hold.

If your rating is 6-7+ years old: assessments will focus more on people's experiences and outcomes — gathered through observation and conversations with people using the service, families, staff and leaders — backed up by targeted record checks.

Governance Gaps, Care Risks and Repeat Failures: What HIQA Found

A review of recent HIQA nursing home inspection reports reveals a clear pattern: where governance failed, weaknesses quickly emerged across staffing, care planning, infection control, records and residents’ rights.
