Azalea House in Bedford has been given an ‘excellent’ report following a visit from Bedford Borough Council.

The home, which supports individuals with learning difficulties and mental health conditions, was visited by the local authority to assess the quality of care provided.

It was rated excellent in five areas including personalised care and support, care and welfare of service users and respecting and involving service users. This gave the home an overall grading of excellent.

The service was evaluated using the Provider Assessment and Market Management Solution (PAMMS) online assessment tool, which helps local authorities to assess the quality of care delivered by providers of adult social care services.

Donna-Maria Masters, manager at Azalea House, said: “I’m delighted that the local authority has given us such a glowing report, marking us as good and excellent in all areas, and excellent overall.

“It is a testament to how hard our team work with the individuals we support to make Azalea House not just a care home, but their home too.

“We will continue to keep our high standards and excellent quality levels, and look forward to welcoming the local authority back to see us again in the future.”
