CARE HOMES in west Wiltshire have been praised for successfully meeting government standards.

Inspectors based at Chippenham and working for the National Care Standards Commission carried out a year-long review of every private and voluntary health care service in Wiltshire.

Now the individual reports on care homes are being made public on an NCSC's customer hotline.

Area manager Liam Scanlon said: "Owners and managers of care homes have been committed to working with us towards the shared goal of ensuring users receive consistent quality care."

The customer hotline number is: 0191 233 3556.
