All Inspections

10 March 2011

During a routine inspection

We visited three people who use the service to ask them what they thought of it. All three were satisfied with the level of support they received. They thought care workers treated them as individuals and ensured their privacy and dignity was respected at all times.

They told us why the service was right for them. Comments include 'I can't fault them. They are good to me. They don't rush me. They always stay an hour, like they're supposed to'. Another said 'they know what they're doing. They ask what I want when they visit. You never feel they're rushing you'.

The third person told us 'the care is ok. The carers are alright. They're doing a difficult job but they know what they're doing. If I said I was feeling poorly they'd get the doctor to me straight away'.
