People's experience of using this service: People received care that was person-centred. One person told us, "I don't have any complaints, if I did I would tell someone. I would recommend this home to other people, so far so good. Staff are kind and speak nicely, they are always polite, they knock on the door before entering. I feel safe here and have no worries."

Systems and processes were in place to keep people safe. Equipment checks were made, and risk assessments were carried out. Medicines were administered safely. Safe staff recruitment processes were followed. Staff received induction, training and supervisions to provide safe care.

People were supported with their nutritional needs and with meal options. Staff respected people's privacy and encouraged people to be independent.
