What inspectors found

CQC: Requires improvement

Report published 25 April 2023 · Last inspected 10 March 2023

Inspectors found that staff understood how to keep people safe, had suitable infection control training, and that there were enough staff to meet people's needs. People said they were treated with respect, could take part in daily choices and in-house activities, and felt able to raise concerns with managers. Cleanliness of the premises was a concern: the building was visibly dirty in places, and audit systems did not always catch this, though a new cleaning contractor was engaged after the visit.

Areas to improve
