"Health and social care professionals said people were treated as individuals and their equality and diversity was fully respected. For example, one said '(name) has had many placements, their behaviours are such that not many places cope very well for long, but here staff have a real handle on what (name) enjoys doing, what is most important to him and they ensure this is included within his daily plan and regime.'"
