Case Study quote “I had really good support from everyone, M’s care manager, commissioners and Enham Trust. They discussed everything with us, the pros and cons, supported us to consider everything, we discussed how to get staff and how that worked. The support provided meant I didn’t need to worry about anything. I know if I have a problem support is just a phone call away.   The only negative I have to say is it’s a pity we didn’t do this 10 years ago as M’s life would have been so much nicer.”
