This service was dormant on the date we wrote this report. Dormant means that it is not providing a service to people. This is because the home was temporarily closed for refurbishment. If there is no one using the service we cannot do a full inspection and award a quality rating. The provider should tell us when they are going to start providing a service and we will then do a key inspection and award a quality rating.
