Everyone is approachable to discuss anything with. A home from home with professional care given.

Overall Experience
For many years I have found the staff at Witnesham very friendly and the medical side excellent. The meals are good quality and good choices. Patients' rooms always very clean.
Laundry fair - needs more sorting.

I feel like my grandad is well cared for here and when I can't make a visit I feel that he will still be well supported!
He is encouraged to engage with staff and other residents which I like.

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.
