Overall Experience5.0 out of 5
Friendly, welcoming home with caring professional staff.
My grandma went to the home when she was 90. She was very used to being on her own but could no longer take care of herself. Visiting her in her room is like going to a her home or a bed/breakfast. The staff are warm and welcoming and unlike
other homes, I have visited for other relatives, the staff rarely change. They now know my grandma like I do.
My grandmas is currently receiving ‘end of life care’ and I couldn't be any more reassured and at ease with the way she is being looked after. The staff show her care and concern as well as amazing patience and expertise. I'm glad my grandma is being looked after there - better care than I could hope to provide.
Thanks go to all the staff there and the owner (who I am sure is a strong influence in the ethos of the home).

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 enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
