AN intermediate care facility in Worcestershire has been rated 'good' by a health watchdog.
Howbury House Resource Centre in Pickersleigh Grove, Malvern, was praised by the Care Quality Commission following a visit in February.
Inspectors said: "The service was effective.
"Staff had the knowledge and skills to meet people's care needs and people had access to enough food and drink to keep them healthy.
"People's independence was supported and staff encouraged people to make their own decisions about their care.
"We found that people's privacy and dignity was respected."
The regulator's report, which was published on Friday, April 24, added that the service was well-led with a "positive culture" and that personalised care was "responsive to people's individual interests and needs".
