Very important in this day and age where most residents can be just a number. Very caring staff,...
Excellent care of my father, not only paying attention to his needs but also treating him as an individual and allowing for the fact that sometimes what he wants is different to what they want for him. Very important in this day and age where most residents can be just a number. Very caring staff, also willing to talk to you. Makes me feel very confident that my father is looked after. He is always treated very well.

- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.

- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
