A care provider has received 'top ratings' following a series of inspections.

Highfield Park, which is part of the MHC group and based in Llandyrnog, Denbighshire, was inspected by Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and the National Autistic Society.

The CIW inspection framework evaluates care providers across several areas such as care and support, wellbeing, leadership and management, and environment.

Each area receives one of four ratings – 'excellent, good, needs improvement, or poor.'

Of the 13 services based at Highfield Park, eight achieved the top rating of 'excellent', with the remaining five receiving a rating of 'good.'

All five homes that applied to become an autism-accredited service were successful.

Shaun Jones, director of operations and responsible individual at Highfield Park, said: "The primary aim is to create homely environments where individuals can achieve the best possible outcomes.

"The evidence-based approaches and focus on continuous improvement used within Highfield Park services allows us to uphold the standards we aim for, and our regulators' ratings reflect the hard work of the staff every day."

The recent CIW reports praised Highfield Park’s staff, highlighting their ability to provide 'high-quality, outcome-focused support' that makes a 'meaningful difference' in the lives of the individuals they care for.

Mr Jones said: "We are delighted with these results, however, this is just the start.

"The goal is to continue improving services, investing in people, facilities, and methods to ensure a leading position in care provision across the UK.

"I am extremely proud of all staff on Highfield Park for making this happen."
