What inspectors found

CQC: Good

Report published 29 November 2022 · Last inspected 25 October 2022

Inspectors found that staff worked as a team, spoke well of their managers, and enjoyed their jobs at the home. People were supported to make their own choices, and the home followed infection control practice and kept visitors safe.

  • Medicines were stored, managed and given as prescribed.
  • Risks to people were identified and recorded to guide staff and keep people safe from harm and abuse.
