Rosedale

Healycare Limited - Rosedale is a 'care home'. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.

Rosedale is registered to provide accommodation and personal care for up to six people with a mental health diagnosis. There were five people living in the service on the days of our inspection.

At the last inspection on 29 March 2016, the service was rated 'Good'. At this inspection the evidence continued to support the rating of good and there was no evidence or information from our inspection and ongoing monitoring that demonstrated serious risks or concerns. This inspection report is written in a shorter format because our overall rating of the service has not changed since our last inspection.
