East Barnet homecare provider retains ‘Good’ rating from industry inspector

Walfinch is proud that the East Barnet franchise maintains a positive rating following the latest Care Quality Commission review.

Walfinch homecare based in East Barnet is celebrating its achievements after maintaining its good-rating following an interim review by the industry regulator, the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

During the initial inspection, the CQC spoke with the care staff, those receiving care, relatives of service users and the registered manager, Mr Marcelo Navarro. Effectively, assessing and determining whether the service delivered is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led: especially in a post-Covid era. The team received good-ratings in all five areas! This is something you can expect with a Walfinch franchise, a greeting smile and a warm working environment: just ask Shilpi Verma from Walfinch in Harrow.

The growth of Walfinch East Barnet

Walfinch East Barnet, based in Whetstone, East Barnet, was set up by Marcelo Navarro in March 2021 as Managing Director. Since then, the East Barnet team has expanded with 24 carers and today provides a wide range of care services to people in their homes across the local area, including Edmonton, Wood Green, Alexandra Palace, East Finchley, Southgate, Palmers Green, Enfield, Cockfosters and Barnet.

We reached out to Marcelo to hear his thoughts on the latest review, “I am delighted that the CQC is confident that our service does not require a reassessment, and we, therefore, retain our existing ‘good’ rating. This follows our first official inspection since launching the business, and to achieve good ratings in each of the five areas inspected is something I am very proud of."

Continuing with, “Since launching the business, my team of carers are today providing personal care and support to many people across the Barnet area. Every day we strive to provide an outstanding service that will make a difference to our clients’ day, and I’m delighted with the feedback and positive reviews we receive.”
