“Our inspection team was really impressed by the level of care and support offered to people in their own homes who used Break Barriers Nottingham Ltd. The service was outstandingly responsive and well-led. People’s care plans clearly reflected their individual needs and personal wishes. People and their relatives were fully involved in the development of their care plans and these were reviewed regularly. There were varied activities that respected people’s cultural diversity that suited everybody’s individual needs. People were extremely complimentary of all aspects of the service provided and spoke very positively of both staff and the management team. People received care and support from kind, caring and compassionate staff, who respected their privacy and dignity at all times. Those using the service had full confidence in the registered manager and the way the service was run. The vision and values of the staff team were person-centred and made sure people were at the heart of the service. All of this meant people received a high standard of care, which is why it has been rated Outstanding.”
