Continuity of care is extremely important to us to ensure that each individual develops a long standing, trusting, working relationship with their carers which also means that the teams are well versed and practised in providing person centred care and support to each individual.
All of our staff are highly trained and consistently monitored through spot checking, reviews and supervision to ensure that they have the relevant skills to treat each individual with a high level of dignity, privacy and respect.
