This residential care home provides accommodation and personal care to up to 46 older people, with 35 residents at the time of inspection. The service faces significant challenges in managing safety risks, particularly regarding skin integrity and medicines management.

Staff and management need to strengthen their systems for monitoring and addressing these issues to ensure residents receive safe, well-documented care.
