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.
More to 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?
