\n Little Manor Care Centre, in Salisbury, received praise for its high-quality care, rehabilitation services and strong leadership in the recent inspection.\n<\/p>\n
\n The centre, which was established during the pandemic in November 2020 as a hospital discharge support unit for Wiltshire, supports patients in regaining independence and returning home safely after a hospital stay.\n<\/p>\n

\n Jodie Airey, registered care manager at Little Manor Care Centre, said: “We are incredibly proud of this result, which reflects the hard work, commitment and compassion of our entire team.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Little Manor was built on a strong sense of purpose during one of the most challenging periods in healthcare, and it is fantastic to see that recognised.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We remain committed to delivering outstanding care and supporting people in regaining their independence and returning home safely.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Originally developed in partnership with three acute hospital trusts, the centre played a vital role during the Covid-19 pandemic by supporting individuals with Covid who were not eligible for hospital treatment, as well as those requiring end-of-life care.\n<\/p>\n
\n The CQC report highlighted the centre\u2019s strengths in providing safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services.\n<\/p>\n
\n It noted clear evidence of people regaining independence, effective teamwork among health and social care professionals, and a well-managed, clean environment.\n<\/p>\n
\n Following the pandemic, Little Manor was selected to pilot the Pathway 2 Intensive Rehabilitation model.\n<\/p>\n
\n This programme has since become a key part of the centre\u2019s service, focusing on mobility and independence for people recovering from hospital stays.\n<\/p>\n
\n It remains the only service of its kind in Wiltshire and is fully funded through the Better Care Fund, a joint investment from Wiltshire Adult Social Care and the NHS Integrated Care Board.\n<\/p>\n
\n The service, which is free to access, supports the acute trusts of Salisbury District Hospital<\/a>, Royal United Hospital Bath and Great Western Hospital.\n<\/p>\n \n The CQC report also noted the centre\u2019s role in supporting timely hospital discharges, helping to reduce pressure on hospital services and improve patient flow.\n<\/p>\n
