A care team in Stockton providing round-the-clock support for an adult with learning disabilities has been shortlisted for the Great British Care Awards.

South Parade, a single-person residential service in Stockton operated by Milewood, has been shortlisted for the Care Home Team Award at the Great British Care Awards.

He added that the team worked to ensure the person they supported was at the heart of every decision, creating opportunities for greater independence, confidence and quality of life. He emphasised that every colleague played an important role and their ability to work together, build trust and provide continuity of support could make an enormous difference.
