How to choose

Registration only shows a provider has declared this specialism to the regulator. It says nothing about staff experience, so ask: how many people with similar needs do you support now? What training do your carers get? Will we see the same few faces? What happens when someone becomes upset or says no? Finally, read the inspection report in full.

Also ask:

  • How do you work with physiotherapists and occupational therapists?
  • How do you support independence rather than doing everything for the person?
  • Will two carers be available when two are needed?
