Multiple service users of RAMH - previously known as Renfrewshire Association for Mental Health - praised the positive impact it has had on their lives when the Care Inspectorate made an unannounced visit to the facility over four days in May.

The charity, which aims “to deliver services to individuals and their families in their local community, to enable recovery from mental ill health and promote well being” received a positive report.

Based on a scale of one to six where one is unsatisfactory and six is excellent, it was rated as five - meaning ‘very good’ - for how well it supports people's wellbeing and for its staff.

It was rated as ‘good’ for how well it plans care and support with leadership ranked as ‘adequate’.

RAMH is registered to provide a combined housing support and care-at-home service to adults with mental health issues living in their own homes in the areas of Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire.
