A staff member said: “The residents are great, they are like family and so I treat them like family."

Another staff member quoted in the report said: “This is a good company to work for. All staff are really lovely. It's a lovely environment to work in. Everyone is supportive.”

Manager Rebecca Stephenson said: “We are all thrilled to have received praise from the CQC and I am really proud of our team.

"Receiving a ‘Good’ is just the beginning for us. We are constantly looking to improve what we do to care for the people we support and we are always looking to recruit quality seekers who share our family values.

"We are now working towards taking our ethos into our neuro-care suites opening shortly, which will be dedicated to caring for people with brain injury in the Sheffield city region and beyond, so watch this space!”
