Service Feedback
“I found the Care Home in Reach team to be very
helpful. They gave us advice on several aspects of
care. Challenging behaviour is a difficult thing to
deal with and the workshops gave us lots of new
ideas. As a result our care staff are now able to
respond in more appropriate ways”
“A fantastic experience overall. This has bought
new ideas to our workplace benefiting our
resident’s wellbeing. Team very approachable and
made each session understandable and
knowledgeable. I highly recommend this service.”
