This inspection consisted of quality statements under the key questions of safe and well led. We visited the service on 10 February 2025. This inspection was prompted by information received about the service, relating to fire safety recommendations which needed to be completed in 6 months as outlined in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 addressed to the service dated 29 January 2025. However, following this inspection we are assured by the arrangements in place to keep people safe. Environmental risk assessments and robust safety checks were in place and complete. Governance systems were in place to ensure oversight. The registered manager told us they were “committed to following the companies’ policies and procedures as they are designed to keep everybody safe.”
