The registered provider
Dinarie is the only service its provider, Mrs Mandy Turreff, runs, so it is an independent, single-site operator rather than part of a chain.
Needs it is registered to meet
Specialisms as registered with CQC.
How long it has been running
Dinarie has been registered with CQC since June 2020, about 6 years.
There is a single overall rating on record, Good (November 2021).
It has gone 4 years without a new overall rating. CQC schedules inspections by risk, so this is not a bad sign in itself, though leadership may have moved on.
Key points from CQC's visit
- The service was new and had only been supporting people for nine months.
- Some of the documentation we saw was incomplete and some forms were still being developed.
- For example, risk assessments and mental capacity assessments.
- Auditing processes were in place but needed time to fully embed so that meaningful conclusions could be made.
Inspected 12 October 2021; report published 13 November 2021; supporting 10 people at the time. In CQC's words, from its published findings (Open Government Licence). Read the full report.
What it may cost
We estimate visits from Dinarie at £30–£37 an hour (visiting care, weekdays), based on published prices in the region. As an example, an hour each morning and a 30-minute evening call comes to about £350 a week.
Regional live-in prices sit at roughly £1,450–£1,770 per week.
With savings below £23,250, East Sussex Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.
