Rebecca Bauers, Head of Adult Social Care Inspection, said:
“When we visited this service everyone we spoke with was very positive about it, and the care being provided. We saw how the efforts that staff made to tailor the service, and help people be socially active, had made a positive impact on everyone involved.
“We found that the leadership had instilled a positive and supportive culture, and had a strong desire to provide high quality person centred care. The service ensured that people were involved in their care decisions. The people and staff were encouraged to share their experiences and feedback so they could be used to further develop and improve the service, they were thanked for their input.
“A great result for a service that has not stopped improving, well done.”
