The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 30 July 2026. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Date of Assessment: 13 April to 11 May 2026. We visited the service due to the length of time since our last inspection. The service is a residential care home supporting older people, including people living with dementia.
The service had a warm and inviting feel, with comfortable surroundings that supported people’s wellbeing. We found some lighting needed to be improved in places and this was addressed immediately. Mealtimes were relaxed and well-coordinated, reflecting a person‑centred approach. Activities ran throughout our visit.
Staff met people’s needs effectively, offering support with extreme patience and kindness. End of life care was exceptional. People were extremely well supported to remain maintain healthy lives.
Medicines were managed safely and in an organised manner. There were enough staff and call bells were responded to within suitable timeframes. The service was clean and tidy. Some flooring required upgrading; this was addressed promptly by the provider, who confirmed replacements had been completed by the end of the assessment, with further enhancements planned. Care plans were regularly reviewed to strengthen the quality and detail of information. There had been no impact on people, but a small number of records reviewed required further update, including updating bed settings. The management team were going to address this.
There were quality assurance checks in the service, and it was led by managers who understood people’s needs and promoted an open culture. Concerns could be raised and were addressed. Staff were safely recruited and trained and supported with their wellbeing.
