During a routine inspection
We saw that people had the opportunity to take part in daily activities; at the time of our inspection people were supported to attend a church service. There was a well-stocked library within the home which people had free access to, as well as a hair salon. The majority of people spoken with gave positive feedback. One person commented 'It's first class ' absolutely' and another person told us 'I would recommend this home to anyone.' A third person commented, when asked if they were happy in the home, 'I have been here for many years so I think that gives you my answer.'
Our observations of the home demonstrated to us that it was clean, generally free from any unpleasant odours and that infection control practices were in place.
People were cared for, or supported by, suitably qualified, skilled and experienced staff.
People's personal records including medical records were accurate and fit for purpose.
