Resident's & Relative's Committee
Bupa Care Services have a National Residents and Relatives Committee. The objectives of the committee is to improve the care and services we provide to our residents and their families by getting feedback from them and to improve communication between Bupa and it’s families and residents.
The committee meet five times a year, focusing on issues at a governance level. Each of the Managers in our care homes has an open door policy and we encourage any residents and relatives who have concerns, issues or feedback on care and services at the care home, to discuss these in the first instance with the care home manager or email any of the following committee members with their concerns.
