What Is TDDI and What Does It Mean for Families In Kingston?

Caremark Kingston’s TDDI registration opens up new possibilities for people who may need more complex support at home. But what exactly is TDDI, and what difference could it make to you or someone you care about? This blog explains TDDI in simple terms, what the registration allows Caremark Kingston to consider, and why it could give families more choice when care needs become more complex.

Understanding What TDDI Means for You and Your Family

You may have seen that Caremark Kingston is now CQC registered for Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury, usually shortened to TDDI. Unless you work in health or social care, however, TDDI probably isn’t a term you hear every day. So what does it actually mean, and why could it matter when arranging care for someone you love?

What Is TDDI?

Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury is a regulated activity overseen by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

It relates to certain treatments provided by, or under the supervision of, an appropriate healthcare professional.

Caremark Kingston is now registered for TDDI alongside Personal Care.This means we can consider certain more complex healthcare needs that may require additional clinical assessment and oversight.

What Does This Mean for My Family?

For families, the important part isn’t the abbreviation. It’s the additional possibilities it can provide.

If Mum, Dad, a partner or another loved one’s healthcare needs become more complex, you may worry that receiving care at home is no longer an option.

TDDI registration means Caremark Kingston can consider a broader range of needs and assess whether appropriate support can safely be provided at home.

It can offer families another option when it may feel as though their choices are becoming limited.

Does It Mean My Loved One Can Definitely Stay at Home?

Not every type of care can be safely provided at home, and every person’s circumstances are different.

That is why assessment is so important.

We need to understand the individual’s health, abilities, risks, routines and support requirements before determining whether Caremark Kingston can safely meet their needs.

Families should also have the opportunity to ask questions and understand what the proposed care will involve.

More Choice and Reassurance

For many families, the real value of Caremark Kingston’s TDDI registration is reassurance.

If someone’s needs change, there may now be more possibilities to explore before assuming they need to leave familiar surroundings.

Home can mean independence, family, memories, routines and simply feeling like yourself.

Our expanded registration allows Caremark Kingston to consider more complex support while keeping those things at the centre of care.
