During a routine inspection

The home is small and comfortable and has a relaxed atmosphere. People told us they could do as they wished and we observed them doing so. There are limited organised activities, but people said that sitting in the lounge, reading or watching television, or staying in their rooms, suited their needs. There is a pleasant garden for people to enjoy.

People told us that the meals were good but they said did not know what might be available or what they were having on the day.

We were told that staff treated people well and no-one had any concerns. People said that they felt able to raise their complaints and concerns. Among the comments people made to us were that they were 'very pleased to be living in the home' and that they had no complaints, and had everything they needed.
