The service was exceptionally well led, by a registered manager and clinical lead, for whom positive feedback was provided by case managers and professionals working with the service. The management team placed people at the centre of the service, which was in line with the provider’s visions and values. Constructive and effective working relationships had been formed, with regular communication provided to ensure people’s wider support networks were up to date with people’s care and rehabilitation. There was a positive culture at the service, with case managers feeling empowered to speak up and challenge practice or decisions.

One relative said, “We’ve got quite a detailed care plan in terms of risks because its mostly about skin and tissue viability and how to look after this. I’m completely involved in all the care plans and the actual care alongside the carers.” Another stated, “I always get asked about everything, for example recently [relative] had his diet changed and I liaised with the dietician and Tania Brown to ensure all the carers were aware of any changes so we all always know whats happening.”
