Manager Self Evaluation Template - England

Adult Care Home Manager Self-Evaluation Tool — CQC Readiness (England)

A comprehensive, ready-to-use self-evaluation tool designed specifically for registered managers of CQC-regulated adult care homes in England. Structured around CQC's five key questions — Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-Led — this tool enables managers to honestly assess their service's strengths and areas for development ahead of a CQC inspection or Mac Research readiness visit.

Each quality statement includes expert guidance in italics, telling the manager exactly what evidence an inspector would look for — from safeguarding referrals and MCA compliance to staffing levels, IPC audits, and Duty of Candour. The tool covers over 70 quality statements across topics including medicines management, care planning, dementia care, Mental Capacity Act and DoLS, recruitment and DBS checks, fire safety, complaints handling, and governance.

The tool uses CQC's four-point rating scale (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) and includes space for evidence, development notes, summary narratives, and an improvement priorities tracker — giving both the manager and their consultant a clear, structured picture of the service before the assessment visit.

Designed by Mac Research & Consultancy to support first-time and experienced care home managers preparing for CQC inspection.
