This service was dormant on the date that we wrote this report. Dormant means that this is not providing a service to people. This is because it was open for business but had no service users. We inspect services by using information from people who use the service. If there is no one using the service, we cannot do a full inspection and award a quality rating. Until people start using the 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.
