What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 21 August 2023 · Last inspected 7 August 2023

People are supported to make their own choices, and staff are described as warm and positive in their dealings with the people they support. The report also recommends some changes to parts of the building so that people living with dementia can find their way around shared areas more easily.
- Medicines are stored and managed safely, and people receive them as prescribed from staff who are trained to give them.
- People are looked after by staff who are familiar with their needs and preferences.
- Feedback from people and their relatives about the care they receive has been consistently positive.
- Staff say the registered manager makes them feel well supported and valued, and that compassion, kindness and promoting independence are part of everyday practice.
