During a routine inspection
When we spoke to people some told us they had chosen this as their home, other people had been to other homes and felt this one suited them better and enjoyed living there. People told us they liked the rural location of the home, the views and walking in the garden.
When we arrived in the morning we observed that people were generally sitting in the lounges listening to music or chatting amongst themselves. In the afternoon following lunch, people were more active and were seen walking in the gardens, relaxing in the lounges or enjoying spending time chatting to staff and others.
