The CQC inspected the home on 23 January 2023 and rated the home, run by Barchester Healthcare, as ‘Good’ in both areas of the inspection – safe and well-led.  The report stated that residents at the home received good quality person-centred care in a positive, open environment with good staff morale. 

The report found that staff love working at the home and fed back positively about the General Manager.  The report stated that there was a culture of openness and transparency and that staff felt valued, motivated and comfortable to speak up. 

A staff member said: “The General Manager really listens to us, it is a close knit team and we all work really well together.”

Residents felt safe living at the home, one resident said: “I am safer here that I was living at home, it is reassuring to know that staff are always about to help me.  They are all so lovely and kind.” 

A relative fed back that: “We can visit any time we like, we are always made to feel so welcome – all the staff are lovely.”  Another relative said: “The care here is excellent, we are kept really well informed and we can always discuss any issues.”
