NHS Highland is delighted that the Wade Centre care home in Kingussie recently received a very positive inspection report. The Care Inspectorate rated the Centre as 'very good' at supporting people's wellbeing and for its staff team.
The Wade Centre was described in the report as relaxed and friendly, with major strengths in supporting positive outcomes for people, with family members referring to the 'first class care and support' their relative received. There was a warm atmosphere created by staff working well together and the team was motived, with good training and communications.
Care Home Manager Catherine Gillies said, "We are very proud that the hard work we put into supporting our residents has been recognised in this report. We have a great team here who really care about individuals and will always try to make sure they are at the heart of what we do. I'd like to thank our residents and their families who shared their views with the inspection team."
Pamela Stott, Chief Officer for Community for the Highland Health and Social Care Partnership, added: "This positive report is testament to Catherine and her team, who are a fantastic example of teamworking and person-centred care."
