This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key unannounced inspection took place over seven and a half hours.

Residents said “I am looked after”, “I am well looked after, good food and good living”, “its lovely here”, “I’ve no complaints, and I get and do what I want”. Others said, “we get out in the van”, “we go out along the sea front”, “and I love sitting watching the sea”. The relatives said that “the home and the staff are good”, “nothing is a trouble” and “I am more than happy with the care in the home”. The meals are nutritious, nicely presented and choices are available. The majority of residents agreed with this by saying, “the meals are nice”, “there’s plenty to eat”, ”, “the food is good, plenty of choices” and “I’ve put on loads of weight”. Visitors are made welcome and there are good links with the local community. Residents and relatives said they would be able to use the complaints procedure if they had a concern.
