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.

Other questions to put to each provider:

  • How do you support recovery goals, not just daily care?
  • What mental health training do staff have?
  • How do you work with the local community mental health team?
