The provider worked in partnership with a multidisciplinary team to ensure people’s needs were met. Positive feedback was received from visiting professionals, who said they would highly recommend the service.

Positive feedback was received from people and their relatives; everyone we spoke with felt confident in raising concerns if required.
The provider had strong links with the local community, and people were supported to take part in activities such as visiting entertainers, animal therapy sessions and religious services.
