"Very proud"
St Monica Trust’s Chief Executive, David Williams said: “The Chocolate Quarter’s home care team always receives extremely positive feedback in our regular residents’ surveys, and it is excellent to see the high standard of care that they consistently deliver being recognised by the CQC.”
“That this has been achieved by a relatively new team, and while dealing with all the challenges that the pandemic has posed for the care sector, makes this result all the more remarkable.
"Domiciliary Care Manager, Colin Dicks and the entire home care team should be very proud of what they have accomplished."
