The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

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

Enable Service Users to be as independent as possible. The Service Users` spoke well of the centre and the care provided. One Service User stated that s/he was `doing very well, marvellous really` and that s/he `would like to live here forever`. Another Service User stated that s/he enjoyed his/her time in the rehabilitation kitchen but sometimes `over did it` in the gym. Another Service User stated that s/he was leaving next week as her/his legs were much stronger and s/he would now be able to care for her/him self at home. A third Service User stated that `the place has done wonders for me and the staff are great`. All of the Service Users` who spoke to the Inspector commented on the homemade cakes and scones, which they enjoyed.

What has improved since the last inspection?

A water boiler has been installed in the main kitchen and fresh fruit is now available within the dining rooms.

What the care home could do better:

The Registered Manager should ensure that the Service Users` have a varied diet at teatime and supper, which they enjoy. Personnel files should contain the required information and staff must receive training appropriate to the work they carry out as well as training in the protection of vulnerable adults. The registered manager should ensure that the quality monitoring system is developed as soon as possible
