They said people enjoy their independence and like to be able to please themselves in what activities they do. Staff have good knowledge of people`s support needs.

The home is clean and there are no unpleasant odours. The manager and her staff are approachable and understand the importance of promoting people`s privacy and choice. The manager has been at the service for a number of years and this provides consistency and stability for people using the service and staff.
