Preferred Providers

the MS Society prefered provider scheme logo  The Preferred Provider scheme has been developed to offer external providers the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to meet the respite needs of people with MS, particularly those with advanced and complex needs. To gain Preferred Provider status, centres will be required to work through criteria identified in a detailed assessment devised by the Society to evaluate the services provided. Preferred Providers are clearly marked in the directory.

Please note that Acres Nook Care Centre, Stonecroft and The Coach House are no longer Preferred Providers.
