Overall Experience
I had an occasion to visit the above care home and these are my comments:
1. As soon as I walked into the home I was struck by the friendliness of staff and how they loved and cared for residents.2. The vast amount of photographs of residents taking part in activities, not just the usual of craft etc but outings to restaurants and even sightseeing.
3. The brightness of the immaculate rooms and decor.
4. The happiness and laughter of residents.
5. Staff who so obviously loved caring for the residents.
6. A well-equipped building suiting the variety of needs.
7. A varied set of menus catering for the requests and needs of residents.
8. A pleasant garden area where a few of residents were enjoying
9. This care home would be my first choice if ever needed.
Thank you for the privilege of being part of my time with you all.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally 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.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- 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.
