Effective?: Good; 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.
