“Staffordshire County Council is committed to helping those who need support and as circumstances change, we are flexible enough to move with them and carry on investing in the right care and improved facilities.

 

We have listened to those who use the service and their families, and this investment will meet the needs of users in updated, modern surroundings in communities across the county.”

 

Julia Jessel, Cabinet Member for Health and Care
