Requires improvementpublished 20 February 2020, 6 years ago

Rated Requires improvement: inspectors found the home was not performing as well as it should and told it what to change.

Safe?: Requires improvement; Are people protected from harm? Staffing, medicines, infection control, safeguarding.
Effective?: Requires improvement; Does the care work? Training, consent, food and drink, working with GPs and nurses.
Caring?: Good; Are people treated with kindness and dignity?
Responsive?: Good; Is care built around the person? Care plans, activities, complaints.
Well-led?: Requires improvement; Is the home run well? The manager, the culture, how problems get found and fixed.
