Review from Rebecca C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 17 October 2022

Overall Experience5.0 out of 5
My grandma has recently been moved to Obelisk House having now moved from being privately funded to being supported with social funding.
As her power of attorney and main carer, I had taken a substantial amount of time to research her previous home, in order to find the right one. Which left me very
concerned that the home that she was moved to would not be up to the standard of the one she was in previously, as the decision was made for us, not by us.
But my fears were soon allayed. The home is perfectly adequate. The staff have been extremely accommodating and more importantly care so much about her and the other residents. I have been pleasantly surprised with her new home and wanted to share my experience here so others feel more comfortable should they or a loved one be thinking of moving here.

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.
