Regular communication was great to reassure us that everything was as it should be. A problem with a supplier was dealt with quickly and efficiently. Kind and supportive and keen to support a person centred service.

    Really good in some ways, eg one to one talking, text, emails etc but could do better with details eg recording phone numbers or email addresses. Overall good service, just tighten up on the paperwork a bit.
    Having said all that, I would use them again
