What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 23 August 2023 · Last inspected 27 June 2023

- Risks are assessed by staff who understand people's needs, and staffing levels and recruitment were found to be safe.
- Staff receive training relevant to their roles and feel supported by managers.
- People are well supported with eating and drinking, and staff work in partnership with health professionals.
