This care home provides accommodation for up to 60 people, with 50 residents at the time of inspection. It specializes in supporting older people living with cognitive impairment across three floors, each offering its own dining area, lounge and quiet social space to create smaller, more manageable environments.

During the inspection, the home was managing a COVID-19 outbreak and had implemented appropriate measures to prevent infection spread, including restricting visits in line with best practice guidance. Prior to the outbreak, the home had established protocols to enable residents to receive visits safely, demonstrating a commitment to balancing residents' social contact with infection control requirements.
