I was very impressed with the environment my friend lives in. It feels so homely when you walk in. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially the new manager. Staff always try to encourage people to take part in activities and there is always plenty of choices.

Overall Experience
Always able to discuss issues with the staff. They take on board any concerns. Care is very good and support is excellent. Medical issues are always dealt with urgently and efficiently by senior staff and nurses.

My son has benefited from a dedicated and extremely caring staff at Pathways. He has come on so well and settled into his life there. It gives me, his father, confidence knowing he is looked after well.

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.
