Inspectors visited Far Fillimore, a residential home for up to 26 older people, some living with dementia, when 20 people were using it. The report describes staff supporting people to make their own choices and to be cared for in the least restrictive way, with policies that back this up. The focused review of safety and leadership found the rating had fallen from Good to Requires Improvement.
