Shaftesbury Court staff celebrating their food hygiene inspection result.
Shaftesbury Court, a residential care home for adults with learning disabilities in Winslow, has been awarded the highest rating of 5 for food hygiene following a recent inspection by the Food Standards Agency (FSA).
The FSA’s Food Hygiene inspection evaluates food safety standards, and a rating of 5 is awarded where the highest levels of cleanliness, food handling, and hygiene are met. Shaftesbury Court’s perfect score affirms its team’s rigorous approach to food safety and quality in the care it provides to people with learning disabilities.
Shaftesbury Court is run by Sanctuary Supported Living, and provides residential home accommodation with tailored personal care and support for 16 adults aged 18 and over, who have a range of learning disabilities.
