What to check before you choose

  • A listed specialism is self-declared and does not prove experience.
  • Ask about clients with similar needs and the training staff get.
  • Check continuity (a small regular team) and how upset or refusals are handled.
  • Read the full report, not only the grade.

Questions worth adding:

  • How do you support independence rather than doing everything for the person?
  • How do you work with physiotherapists and occupational therapists?
  • Are staff trained in moving and handling, including hoists and slings?
