The inspector found no outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report, but made 5 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.
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
Staff knew a lot about the residents, especially how they liked to be looked after and the things they liked to do. There was a good rapport between the residents and the staff team. Residents live in a "cosy" and comfortable home. Many of the residents have independent and active lifestyles.
What has improved since the last inspection?
What the care home could do better:
Written information about the help and support residents want, needs to be person centred, detailed and give clear direction to the staff team. The information should make the link to a sound and underpinning value base that shows that the Home recognises the importance of areas such as independence, choice, fulfilment, dignity and rights.
