During a routine inspection
The two people we saw in the home appeared very comfortable and relaxed. The staff had worked there for many years. They showed a very good knowledge of people's health and social needs and how to meet them. The relative we spoke with was very complementary about the home. They told us it was, 'A very good home with good staff.'
We saw people who lived at the home had very different needs and these were met in individual ways by staff with whom the people there were ar ease.
We saw medicines were administered safely, people were safeguarded from abuse, and the home monitored the quality of the service it provided.
We noted the notice board in the dining room did not fit in with the homely and comfortable surroundings of the home. Staff agreed they would improve or replace it.
