• The service demonstrated that they were offering an exceptional level of providing responsive and personalised support and had gone the ‘extra mile’ organising meaningful activities and events for people.

One person told us, “Staff know what they are doing, they all are very good at what they do”. One person’s relative said, “They are very well trained to cope with (person’s) behaviour. (The person) can get very agitated and physical if (person) doesn’t want to do something. They are definitely on the ball”.
