Since 2011, in the Czech Republic, an external quality assessment has been made available to managers of care homes in order to improve the quality of care by helping them point out weaknesses in the provision of care and giving recommendations where improvement can be achieved.
The Quality Certificate is an external certification system based on the awarding of points and stars established on 300 criteria in five areas (accommodation, catering, culture and recreation, partnerships, care), allowing to evaluate key aspects of activities and life in senior care home settings.
