Service During COVID Feedback – Bath Community
It is important that, from time to time, we ask for feedback on our performance as a care provider.
As the UK and the rest of the Europe slowly starts to come out for the pandemic lockdown we felt that this is an opportune time to ask our service users for feedback on how Way Ahead Care did during this challenging time.
We sent out a questionnaire for individuals to complete and return. Using a very simple scoring method, service users where able score each questions using either the Happy, Indifferent, or Sad face, and were given the opportunity to comment in support of their score.
The results for our Bath community service are as follows:
