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.
Questions worth adding:
- How do you support hearing aids and other equipment?
- How do you adapt the home or routine for someone with sight loss?
- How do you keep people connected with family and activities?
