What the care home does well The home is in a quiet and peaceful wooded setting. A visitor commented that a reason for choosing the home was that it had a good reputation in the village area. People are cared for in a clean and comfortable environment and the home is decorated to a good standard. All people spoken with made positive comments about the care they received; one said it would never be home but it was the next best thing and another said that she liked sitting in the large main lounge and enjoying other peoples` company.. The staff group is well trained and knowledgeable about the people living at the home and how they prefer to be cared for. The management and senior staff work well as a team and there is a very stable staff group, enabling good knowledge of the needs of people. People are encouraged to make choices about their daily lifestyles and individual likes and dislikes are catered for. Surveys returned to us were very positive and comments included praise for the staff and the manager. What the care home could do better: There was no evidence of non-compliance on the day of our visit. Random inspection report
