Inspectors found that the home, which supports up to 47 people with personal care needs, including some living with dementia, had staff who treated people with compassion.

- Safeguarding systems were effective in protecting people from abuse
- Infection prevention and control systems were generally effective
- People were supported to make choices and keep control of their lives, with the least restrictive approach used
