The Paddocks - PAMMS

What is PAMMS?

The Provider Assessment and Market Management Solution (PAMMS) is an online assessment tool used by Norfolk County Council (NCC). Its purpose is to evaluate the quality of care provided by adult social services in Norfolk, including residential care homes, nursing homes, and homecare services. All providers accredited with NCC undergo a PAMMS audit.

How is PAMMS Different from a CQC Report?

Although a PAMMS report isn't the same as a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection, there is a strong relationship between the two. PAMMS acts as a supportive tool, helping providers prepare for a CQC visit by identifying areas where high-quality care is being delivered and areas that may need improvement. It’s a proactive way to ensure that care services meet high standards before a formal CQC inspection.

It’s great that The Paddocks scored “GOOD” on all sections in the PAMMS assessment! Congratulations to our team at Ther Paddocks!
