“People are positive about the service they receive. We observed many friendly, caring and understanding interactions throughout the inspection. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic support workers have developed positive and meaningful relationships with individuals who live at the service.”

We’re so pleased to share the latest Care Inspectorate Wales inspection report for The Grange, our residential service in Carmarthen. A huge congratulations to the amazing team at The Grange—your dedication and care make a real difference in the lives of the people you support every single day.
