Client stories
![](https://worknest.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Avante-logo-white.png)
“
We have procured the services of Care 4 Quality (part of WorkNest group) for many years and continue to do so. They have always been efficient, friendly , and professional. We value the relationship and would highly recommend.”
Avante Care & Support
![](https://worknest.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/1_a83981084b.webp)
“
We have been using Care 4 Quality (part of WorkNest group) for six years ever since we took over our first care home. Their mock inspections and feedback is invaluable for our Managers to see what they need to focus on but, as a Provider, the Care 4 Quality visits are invaluable for our governance to ensure that our homes are always compliant and give us that oversight.”
![](https://worknest.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/footer.png)
“
We used Care 4 Quality services (part of WorkNest group) after receiving a poor inspection rating. I can honestly say their knowledge and service is next to none. We have recently been re-inspected and the improvements we have made have been incredible. I cannot recommend Care 4 Quality services enough.”
“
We moved our legal support to WorkNest having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully we’ve been delighted with the service we’ve received from WorkNest.”
