A spokesman said: “We are delighted with our recent CQC report after an inspection in February.

This was our first inspection and Belinda Ibbitson, our registered manager and Nicola Bolton, our clinical lead, have ensured that we have a well managed, safe, effective and caring service with a overall rating as good.”

This service is a domiciliary agency providing care for adults and children with complex medical needs in their own homes.

The CQC report, published on March 27, found: “People received a service that was based on their needs and wishes.
