We thanked all our staff at Christmas with these fabulous gifts to each and every one of them for all their kindness, compassion and care given to all our service users.
Our offices were full of chocolates!
Two of our Managers attended and successfully completed a fire safety awareness course.
This was held at Lancashire County Council in Preston.
This was a very informative and interesting seminar.
All information has been cascaded to all Senior Carers to be able to have a more in-depth knowledge when conducting risk assessments in our clients homes.
Keeping clients and staff as safe and aware as possible.
