CQC: Good

Report published 2 March 2020 · Last inspected 10 February 2020

Inspectors found that residents felt safe and that staff understood how to recognise and report poor practice.

The home had an open, friendly atmosphere with visible management and good teamwork.

Strengths noted

  • The complaints procedure was familiar to residents and families, who felt concerns would be listened to and acted upon
Areas to improve
