The services at Station Avenue in Duns and the newer location at Poynder Gardens in Kelso have grown from strength to strength, supporting independence for service users.

The report highlighted the positive outcomes experienced by the people they support, with service users enjoying “positive and trusting relationships” with staff and being supported to live active, fulfilling lives.

One person shared that they were “being supported to do more for myself.” Inspectors also found that leadership promotes a “consistent and cohesive approach” that helps to “drive positive outcomes for people”.

The inspection recognised how staff build on people’s strengths, support independence and choice, and work closely with health professionals to promote wellbeing. Also highlighting robust quality assurance processes and a strong commitment to continuous improvement.

Eildon said it is particularly pleased that all areas for improvement identified at its previous inspection were confirmed as fully met, with no new areas for improvement.

Amanda Miller, director of community services, said: “I wanted to say a huge thank you to the people we support, their families, our partners, and especially our dedicated local leadership team and colleagues whose compassion, professionalism and commitment make these outcomes possible every day.”
