What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 20 September 2023 · Last inspected 1 September 2023

Staff recruitment and safeguarding systems were judged sound, and people were supported to make their own choices with the least restrictive approach. People, staff and relatives spoke positively about the home, and governance systems gave oversight of the service.
