What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.
What the care home does well
All of the residents spoken to were very happy with the care they received whilst living in the home and stated if they had a complaint they would speak to the manager. The food is appealing and appetising. Care staff treat service users with dignity and respect.
What has improved since the last inspection?
The residents spoken to stated that they are happy with the activities provided by the home and that the home had organised trips out to various places.
What the care home could do better:
The receipt of medication into the home must be recorded so that an audit trail can be completed to ensure that the correct medication is being administered. An immediate requirement was left stating this.
