The first impression with the staff is excellent. Everyone is friendly and certainly has made my mother very welcome and made the transition from home life to a care home as easy as possible. It has been a huge relief to also see the excellent nursing care that is provided, as her needs are getting worse. The standard of cleanliness is also excellent, as is the food. The choices of food are very well catered for. Everyone, whether its residents or visitors are treated with care and respect.

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.
