Also commenting on the achievement, Lorraine Linton, Operation and Development Director of Sue Ryder, said: “This latest report from the Care Inspectorate is an amazing result for the HomeCare team, who daily face all sorts of environments and conditions with a smile on their face. They work tirelessly to ensure that every one of the two hundred and fifty people they visit each week feel comfortable in their own home and empowered to live as fulfilling a life as possible.
As a local MSP, it was great that Mr Crawford was able to come in and say congratulations. The team absolutely deserve this recognition and will strive to achieve the same result next year.”
Homecare Stirling client, John MacInnes, from Dunblane said, “My wife, Isobel has dementia and we’ve been relying on the help of the Stirling Homecare team for the last two years. If it wasn’t for their exceptional care I wouldn’t be able to go to work, since carers look after Isobel while I’m out. Their support has been invaluable to us both, allowing Isobel to maintain a good quality of life and me to do something for myself, while caring for Isobel. The team really are fantastic and absolutely deserve full marks for their work.”
The Stirling based service, established in 2010, provides vital care at home to people living with conditions such as stroke, dementia and MS as well as people who need support at the end of their lives.
