Concerns and complaints

Many people are reluctant to complain. We aim to provide a great home and professional, compassionate, caring service through our own determination to follow best practice.

Sometimes we may miss something, or you might be able to think of how we could do something better. Perhaps we may have fallen short of your expectations. Should this happen we want you to speak up, so that we can resolve any issues and improve the service we offer, as quickly as possible.

For any concerns or complaints please complete our online form and for further details of the process please see our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

A complaint must be made no longer than 12 months after the date of an incident, or when the matter first came to the attention of the complainant.
