Report published 16 August 2022 · Last inspected 27 June 2022

Inspectors describe a home for up to 42 people, many of whom have dementia or other neurological conditions, where people are treated with warmth and respect and say they feel secure. Staff understand the risks linked to each person's needs, medicines are given when they are due, and health professional advice is sought when concerns arise. Leaders are described as visible and focused on helping people make the most of their lives.

Strengths noted

  • Inspectors found people's food and fluid intake are supported, and medicines are provided when needed.
  • Relatives feel their family members are cared for safely.
  • Staff say they feel appreciated and heard, and managers act quickly on feedback.
Areas to improve
