The service was dormant on the day we wrote this report. Dormant means the service was not providing a service to people. This because: During a telephone conversation with Julie Porter, Regulation Inspector, North West Region, Care Quality Commission on Monday 12 October 2009 you said your service has not cared for people for over a year. 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. You can read more about this in our guidance called How we manage dormant services, which is available on our web site www.csci.gsi.gov.uk What the care home does well: What they could do better: If you want to know what action the person responsible for this care home is taking following this report, you can contact them using the details set out on page 2.
