QuIRC is a trusted brand that focuses on measuring the quality of care in mental health rehabilitation units and specialist supported accommodation services. As the first internationally agreed tool of its kind, QuIRC offers a comprehensive assessment of the quality of care for individuals with long-term mental health issues in psychiatric and social care units. This assessment tool is free to use and can be completed online by managers or senior staff members.

QuIRC evaluates care across seven areas including the living environment, therapeutic environment, treatments and interventions, self-management and autonomy, social interface, human rights, and recovery-based practice. By comparing facility ratings to similar units within the country, QuIRC provides valuable insights to improve the quality of care provided. In addition, QuIRC-SA, based on the QuIRC, assesses the quality of care in specialist mental health supported accommodation services.

It considers three main types of supported accommodation, including residential care homes, supported housing, and floating outreach services. QuIRC and QuIRC-SA are available in multiple languages to cater to a wider audience. With their user-friendly online completion process, QuIRC empowers healthcare professionals to enhance the quality of care they provide
