Client Testimonials

“SHA Disability were commissioned to undertake a review of Cambridgeshire County Council’s Community Occupational Therapy service, which is outsourced to a community NHS trust under a Section 75 Agreement. The review was undertaken between November 2022 and February 2023. SHA were chosen above other more generic consultancies as we wanted to be sure that we commissioned an organisation with a clear understanding of the delivery of OT services. SHA undertook an excellent piece of work, working to our detailed brief and provided us with a comprehensive report containing valuable insights and recommendations for service development. Despite the complexity of the brief, SHA kept to deadlines and liaised closely with all stakeholders at relevant points throughout the project. I would not hesitate to recommend SHA for similar projects in the future.”

Diana Mackay, Commissioning Manager, Cambridgeshire County Council (June 2023)


“I would like to thank you and your team for the tremendous effort that you have put in to assist this Service in undertaking the most comprehensive freedom pass renewal exercise ever undertaken which has resulted in a reduction of nearly 1000 previous holders having been moved off the Disabled Persons Freedom Pass scheme. Whilst the initial charges for the additional assessments undertaken will impact on our budget this year, the reduction in numbers of Disabled Freedom Pass holders should result in a saving to this Authority in the longer term”

Terry Collins, London Borough of Tower Hamlets

Compliments

The family would like to express our personal thanks to Domenica Russo who arranged the installation of a hoist for my bedridden mother. She went above and beyond to ensure the whole process went smoothly and we are very grateful’.

‘I wanted to say thank you for your companies’ services and sending Maria Sanders. I’m so appreciative for Maria’s observations, experience, and advice. This followed by positive actions she has put in place have been invaluable. It’s difficult to explain how much easier life is for all of us down to this equipment and how much safer mum and her carers now are. I wish you all well, and once again thank you for everything’. 

‘Just a quick email to say a huge thank you for your very professional, efficient, and dedicated assistance. The level of service that you have provided exceeded my expectations. You were very supportive, friendly and you always had time to listen and explain options. For all of this I am very grateful’.

Thank you for all your help it’s really appreciated by my husband and myself these adaptations are now making our lives easier, and I have my dignity back as I can now shower unaided it’s fabulous’.
