Relatives praised the management team's positive impact on residents' welfare, noting a significant reduction in incidents. One relative commented, "There's been a real drop in the number of incidents and that's because they are much more aware of my relative and how best to care for him. " The team works to preserve people's individuality and human rights.

During visiting restrictions, staff creatively maintained family contact—one relative recalled, "When I wasn't allowed to visit they suggested I keep that contact going by reading bedtime stories every night. It was lovely. " The registered manager conducts regular audits to maintain residents' wellbeing.
