What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 20 June 2019 · Last inspected 15 May 2019
Inspectors found that the home supports older people, some of whom may have physical disabilities or be living with dementia, with safe everyday care from staff who treat them with kindness and respect. People are supported with eating, drinking, healthcare appointments and social activities, and the building was found to be clean and well maintained. The report identified one area needing improvement, which is the recording of topical medicines.

- Staffing levels are described as meeting people's needs safely, and medicine systems are in place to support safe administration.
- The home is clean and well maintained, and measures are in place to protect people, staff and visitors from infection.
