Care Homes for Older People Page 3 of 7 What we found:
This service was dormant on the date we wrote this report. Dormant means that it is not providing a service to people. This is because it was open for business but had no customers. We inspect services by using information from people who use the service. If there is no one using the service, we can not do a full inspection and award a quality rating. Until people start using this service, we will follow our guidance on dormant services. This means we will do a random inspection every twelve months.
