All of the quality statements were assessed on this occasion. The service has been rated ‘Good’ overall as a result of this assessment. We visited the care home on 29 October 2024 and the 5 November 2024. During our visits we were able to carry out observations in communal areas and speak with people, staff and visitors. We spoke with the owner, registered manager, 10 staff, 16 people and 2 relatives. The home felt welcoming, friendly and homely with people, staff and relatives sitting and chatting, eating and taking part in activities.
