We are thrilled to announce that Aspen Grange Care Home has become the first care home in Essex to achieve the esteemed Care Inspections UK (CiUK) certificate. This significant milestone places Aspen Grange at the forefront of the adult residential care sector, reflecting our commitment to providing exemplary service and setting a new benchmark in the industry.
Celebrating Excellence in Care
The Rt Hon. James Cleverley MP recently visited Aspen Grange to personally congratulate our dedicated staff and residents on this remarkable achievement. His visit not only underscored the importance of the certificate, which is measured against high standards including the BS8606:2019 certification, but also highlighted the home’s unwavering dedication to maintaining high standards of care.
This prestigious recognition was awarded after a thorough evaluation by Care Inspections UK (CiUK), the sole accredited independent inspectorate for UK care homes. Aspen Grange successfully met all the rigorous criteria, including those outlined in the BS8606:2019 standard, which includes requirements for personal, nursing, and specialist dementia care within a residential environment.
