The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3 and 6 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service.

Most said that friends or their doctor had recommended the home. They were happy with the information that they had been given and said that the staff had worked hard to make the move as easy and comfortable as possible. The documentation used to guide the assessment of potential residents has been improved and more detail is sought to help residents and the home assess whether the staff and facilities in the home can meet residents’ needs.
