and provide extensive and thorough training for our staff team.
We actively invite feedback from our service users and their relatives with regular
meetings, questionnaires and reviews. |

The application process is managed by the registered manager, who will liaise with the funding authority to ensure that the process is as speedy and effective as possible. |
